to be angry

a rage has surfaced
a beast ready for air
inhaling to remain below
undisturbed and disturbing

anger lives in the deep
darkness is anger after all
is not emptiness or fear
is full and refilling
self-assured and sincere

anger motivates the wicked and the just
a beacon of focus
unlike hunger or thirst
when everything is quenched
reminds what shouldn't have to be missed

why does the sun burn
what is keeping its wrath
consuming itself so others grow
if it did not sprint to its end
would anything else begin

be angry and do not sin
no reprimand for not enjoying lost paradise
no master plan, no blessing by desert
the snake and the garden admit reality
but do not demand it was necessary

this is what makes anger legitimate
promised by father and mother
if anger cannot be honest
if it cannot burn bright
cannot acknowledge what should not be
then even divine tears are complaining
and the greatest good incomplete

darkness is anger after all
or anger is also light
illuminating what is needed
anger becomes grieving
beast in deep solitude invites a companion
for no love aware of its own furious history
can watch another grieve alone
