rage

what would
buddha do with
rage?

let go!

just sitting in
harmony, turning the
arrows of his
enemies to
flowers.

so i’m releasing
the scalding anger in
my soul to
steam harmlessly
among the
clouds

& i am
abandoning all
claims to
vengefulness

leaving those
who maimed
my life to
marinade in the
slop of their own
sour-ass karma.

the celestial equation is
simple––
my suffering is their
fate

& blinding rage has
already consumed
half my
heart.
