7 types of anger

There is:
the anger of the soup tureen
that looked red-full and sweet
till, one little slip,
and its contents spread across
the floor, a promise unkept
the anger of betrayal
on finding that A was B
and B was A
the anger of delight,
all vengeanced out,
looking sweet and neat
stretched out on some
chaise longue of the soul
the anger of hurt
made clean, seeming clean
the anger of decay
as smile lines fill ever deep
with rivers of slight tears
the anger of self-justification,
when the angry
knows the other's wrong
by the power of their ire,
their 'ire-iness',
and need not conscience-out,
not even cross-examine
of themselves
and, last, the -
no wrenched-out words
no tremulous skin -
anger that cannot speak its name,
holds itself in,
to poison out
the hope of 'sin'.
