eleven


But now you must get rid of all such things—anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive language from your mouth.”  Colossians 3:8

but
the bitterness tastes
so sweet,
the arrows of anger
pierce so deeply,
the foul-letter words
roll so trippingly
off the tongue, how
can you ask me
to just toss them
in the landfill,
rather
than recycling them
