Taming the Fire

Writer: Jes DerryJes Derry

inside

tiny particles

agitate

collide

Particles to

atoms to

molecules

the heat

the energy

bump

bump

outside

fingers form fists

body tense

waist through to hips

simmer to boil

control to volatile

sirens loud

360 degrees

around the head

unable to extinguish

a sense of justice required

but inside deep down

a meek child resides

they awaken

and turn off

the gas

as a voice whispers

it’s not your war

karma comes to all.
