LITTLE THINGS

 

Rained upon by harm and hate

A storm of blunt-force weapons

Silver bullets of strong emotion

My hollow skull bursts into bits

Every thought makes me twitch

And still you scorch the shrub…

Amazing, what you can make

Amazing, what you can make happen in a few lines. First, the title is sheer brilliance. I'm loving that to death! The poem is just mind-blowing in its intensity. Yes, there are landmines of hate at every turn, it seems, and you strike back at this discouraging reality with the full force of your talent. 

 

Stunning.
