Kindness is difficult for angry souls,
in the heat of the moment, I forget,
neglect to pay respect to the Other,
deference comes at a price, empty bowls
necessary to fill at a shelter,
empty hearts, empty minds, I get upset,
submission at the hands of my brother,
subject to trauma as a little boy.
Skeins of dreams disappear, helter-skelter,
kindness turns to bittersweet, dark chocolate,
empty hands cup the past, a sparrow's egg
incites a feud, darkness as a comet
neatly arcs the elliptic, must I beg,
seems mercy ("uncle") is a sadist's joy.
