Rookie Bull
Her lungs fill with introspection Smoke curls around the possibilities Her rookie year of freedom Free from the dumb Now she is the terrorist Unreasonable A raging bull in a house of mirrors Shattering glass with each buck Making no apologies for shards that may impale On occasion she takes a piece of that glass Cuts open the wound and digs around Expelling the infection Making it bleed again Murderous chemotherapy Killing the good along with the bad Don't invite the bull to the tea party Her stamina doesn't recede Bitter is lovely in coffee and females Many moons ago an ageless bride Used up and tossed aside Now the rookie finds herself New to the bull fight Serenity is her only vengeance Verbally painting pictures Of what still resides inside
