Go Feed Your Rage to the Creek

A poem

Inspired by a line from my friend Kyra Hinton

When your brain is crackling
with flames from the latest outrage

go feed your rage
to the creek

which will carry it away
to the bottomless ocean,

go scream your sorrows
to the stars

and they will dissipate
in the dark
of those endless expanses,

go rest yourself
in the fields

and they will sing you to sleep
with wind in the grass.
