Mars Chasing the Moon

anger rising
not like old faithful
but a subtle shift
of the planet's plates
heat rushing under the fault line
pushing up

often the pressure eases
with time
but on this occasion
decades of force
erupt into a surge of words
crushing the armament
razing what was left of a broken bond

what was unbalanced
finds a natural equilibrium
through destruction
anger clears away debris
annihilating animus
leaving a landscape less lethal
less of you.
