Hate

by George Anderson

Hate is dark. Guttural.
Largely unfathomable:
A surging, tearing, choking rage.
Seething, mashing

through clenched teeth.
Reeking,
of hot hunched shoulders.
Lurching callous fists.

The hard quick crunch
On soft fearful faces.
Cleaving open wounds-

like flower petals
or mushroom clouds
multiplying upwards
in soft ripening rays.
