Anatomy of Defense

Stomach churns

Face burns

Palms sweat

Teeth set

Fists tight

Words bite

Staggered breath

Glare death.

Narrowed eyes

Composure dies

Fury ignites

Devoid of delights.

Pounding head

Anger dead

****** ****

And knuckles numb.

Tales told

Locals hold

Grimly gaze

On younger days.
