I apologize for the thoughts that I think
thoughts I cannot write down
cannot utter aloud
words whose terrible meaning
will only make sense in their silence
expressed by no more than
the hint of a darkening rage in the eye
and a barely perceptible
quivering pulse in the cords of the neck
I apologize also for knowing
instinctively certain
the same thoughts exist in your mind
Stunning truth, perfectly captured.

To think and ponder yet not act of anger makes one the better person than the alternative. A wise poem, a wise poet.
