Rage 
This terrible Joy is a cruel master,
explosions of feeling
full, full, full, full
this joy that ascends my being
this behind-the-lids colouring crayon
sun on the skin
wind in the hair
waves crashing, ecstasy
wind whistling, take me
I am being battered by joy
buffeted by happiness
the unthought, the invisible
the hard subtlety of Joy
Take breath into my lungs
feel my eyes fill at this beauty,
how can Joy hurt?
Speechless, no words
to describe why invisible
circles of unseen eagles,
unfelt touches of spirits
make me feel this way
My soul needs its fix of Joy

(1996)
