Bitter Words
Words bubble over
your bitter acid tongue
repulsive & glorious hatred,
steaming fog rushing up
from your flush, disgusted mouth.
Violent crimson clouds
engorge my brain,
a throbbing migraine;
words spewing forth
releasing rage like rain,
like delicious carbonation
bursting from a champagne bottle,
shaken.
