Anger, he smiles,
Towering in shiny metallic purple armour
—Jimi Hendix, Axis Bold As Love
An itch inside you can't scratch
the afterburn of anger nerves
knotted reverberations of thunder
Adrenal Medulla choleric monster
unfliches as the body cannot locked
in combat long after the dust settles
Carrion crow memory lingers
over the remains relishes
an eye once fixed on revenge
Choler Ever After
