Purging Angst

. . . Cathartic writing dealing with the short fuses of rising anxiety levels from life's side effects . . .

Purging Angst

Emotions simmer

as adrenaline’s

silent phenomena  

begins to pump though veins

with a quickening pulse .

Organic essence rushes

through stretching vessels

like lightning strikes

manifesting an aching

buzzing boil .

Percolating sensations . . .

penetrate consciousness

Shaking the

volcanic labyrinth

of cracks and crevasses

evolving through

indistinct passageways .

Freezing and thawing

yin and yang ;

as if the spring  snow’s

unbridled thaw

trickles through unnoticed
hairline fractures .

Elements in search of

an unendowed metamorphosis ;

drawn by gravity

naturalizing equilibrium ,  

seeking its own level

of unique symmetry

vastly beyond wavering

ebb and flow.

Purging the currents

from the darkest depths
while pursuing balance 

filtering through

a tertiary abyss .

Teetering on the brink

of a severing  fault line,

disguised beneath

the cresting waves

crashing back 

onto the ocean’s shores .
