My anger creeps, slithering, Ascending
A serpent rushing its prey
Yet her true form is just pain
Poison filled fangs
Cold scaled exterior
The Battle cry of a hiss
All masking hurt
Protecting her life as well as her eggs
Her children yet to be birthed
Broken into this world fresh and anew
Vulnerable and weak
In their nest
awaiting their mothers return
My anger slinks, and when finding nothing to latch onto, nothing to sink poison fangs into….my anger fades
Crawling back to its nest to curl upon its eggs, protecting, incubating,
Keeping safe all the fragile unborn hopes
