A magnificent rant
Full of bile. Malodourous
Extruded hate
Desperate. Drink fuelled confusion
Committed to air by pressing ‘send’
And sealing a toxic mistake to history
From down there in the deeply dark
Out now to fester. A lingering testamony
To a failed state
Always to hover and float
In a memory alert to casual triggers
So, will there be, debris
Some reciprocal ache
Some collateral damage
A stain left from the rancour
Or will I see sense
Forgive and forget
Grow a little as I toast my luck
Because in this small episode
My conscience is clear
