A piece of advice (gravel II)
-----------------
the nexus of the wound 
a bit of cold rusted schrapnel
too hard to pry out
and so left alone
to its own devices
scabbed over and 
seemingly forgotten
with time, would it bubble up
to the surface and out
or would it stay there,
seemingly ignored,
festering and infecting 
otherwise healthy 
neighboring parts
or would it disengage 
to move freely 
coursing through the body
to lodge suddenly in the brain 
or the heart
an unexpected aneurism 
or attack
jeopardizing the whole
can you let your anger go now?
or perhaps the anger is gone
but a scrap of resentment remains
please, let that go 
I know, easier said than done
though you know what it is
to keep it
