“With anger spreading in the chest to guard against a vainly barking tongue”
I sit
arms crossed in false bravado.
Your anger flecks your face with spit.
I stare.
You beat your boots against my chair
and swear.
I bite my cheek
my mouth fills up with blood.
You growl and shout but I won't speak.
I burn
my muscles tight and taut, my tongue is still.
Why? You'll never learn.
