...Of One Angry Moment

Karyn Indursky

 

Hot lava
at the tip
of one's tongue,
but one
must not
let it run
out one's
mouth to destroy
people and things
in the path
of venting
this hot deadly lava.
Hot lava
at the tip
of one's tongue,
but one
must not
let out
the heat and power
of it
because all
would be lost
in a moment's
rash decision.
Hot lava
at the tip
of one's tongue
slides out
of one's mouth
and kills all
for that moment
of internal weakness
to leave
broken
hearts,
relatives,
friendships,
lovers,
boyfriends,
girlfriends,
wife's,
husbands,
etc.
in a heap
formed into
a mountain
from the destruction...
of one angry moment.
