The country

ANGER

Fire burning, sneakers pounding the concrete, boot slugging through an early morning field.

Flames licking out of control, mad snarls – waiting to bite to tear down and devour.

Grasses growing wild as far as the eye can see, time stands still all that moves is you and I

Senseless ire consuming, blocking, uprooting, invading

Upfront, sneakily, timidly, persistently, impatiently

Stubbornly denying healing, pain refusing to move, hurt unrelenting
