What the storm
of your emotions
wrecks upon others
matters. The anger-
flash exploding
through the veil
of your darkness,
stark and ungrounded,
it matters.
The jagged rocks
draped in blood
and bits
of incidental
flesh reek
of your snappish
sarcasm. They matter.
So pay attention,
asshole. If not here,
now, for you,
then for others
who matter,
the others
with whom
you say
you are
in love.
