anger
pure, righteous, cleansing
creates distance between
right/wrong/good/evil
(such useful things, dichotomies)
sorrow
putrid, passive, helpless
carves me out, all my
swarming innards
sorrow and anger together scrape out
the mallow
I dry in the sun, a husk, partly relieved
a child who has wretched out the poison.
oh humanity, I sometimes say
why destroy, maim, torture, ruin
piss on the seeds of creation
stamp out your own potential?
But there is no why, no because,
no humanity
just husks in the sun
some are we
some are them
and we could never become like them.
we, we are pure
and festering in holy anger.

I dont know what altered the cosmos this spring, but something did and has left many feeling exactly how you beautifully described it.
Anger simmers under our collective skin.......... how do we return to love?
I don't know... is it a naturally occurring season, or something we've done to ourselves?
I had a conversation with a friend recently and he was explaining that there have been a lot of eclipses lately that have rattled and shifted people. I'm beginning to believe this explanation.
