Lori, this is a gut punch of a poem. I've read it numerous times, I believe it lives in many, that 'wild thing' we fight so hard to keep inside 'that cage.'
I was having a hard day when I wrote this. I don't tend to get anxious but I could feel it, like something was trying to fly out of my chest. And there's nothing you can really do but try to keep it contained.
