SAVAGE HEART

Shaking with anger
Choking back tears
I hit a wall
This embodied response shocks me
A visceral reaction
Where does that fit into a competency framework?
The right hemisphere goes where the left hemisphere fears to tread
Nurse, pass me the scalpel
Nurse?
I'm falling
Falling into an abyss
I wade through the toxic slush
Of an incontinent factory
The abandoned child walks sadly round in circles
Looking for a lost teddy bear
"There, there" says the social worker
"Mummy will be home soon"
Immaculate therapist flexes his fingers and asks
"So how are you today?"
