Punished

There is something one can do with anger—
some sign that can be recognized
and answered—
a scab to be picked,
a mystery that leaves clues.

The only punishment
impossible to rectify
is
silence.

“Rewind” asks that we. republish a post from a past year that was published on the same day of the month. In this case, July 23. This poem was one I published on this date ten years ago.
