Talking with my mouth full
of bitten tongue memories
Sharp edged lashing out
snapping cracking the whip
of other words held back
spittle spat the tempest
when weary weakened
defenses down
I bite
I chew

Oh, Lori dear, be careful, don't choke while talking ...

Poetically impressive I say!

Love,

"bitten tongue memories

snapping cracking the whip"

Much turmoil for one person to deal with.
Most intriguing.

Ouch. "spittle spat the tempest" will do it every time . . .
