The morning dawns calm and sullen, large geese
families feast next door, defiant, least
of my concerns. My fury has built, stoked
by the males in my family who withhold

support I plead for. They have dismissed me.
If I could, I would go berserk, pissed, free
from civility. Just wait, I'll kiss off
when this door's through. Amenable and soft,

there are no laurels for my women kin.
We grind our bones to dust until the end
promised bliss beyond. I'm all alone now
celebrating life with every breath. How

anger carries me today, past headache,
weary as I watch my father's heart break.
He too can't hear me. My mother meets my eyes.
I fuel intentional, higher. Praise skies.

Inspired by: Berserk, Bliss and Laurels. Thanks for listening today, I needed to vent.

Below, the family feeding this morning.
