A person uses yardwork to vent thier anger.
Into the flesh of the planet I sink
the metal teeth of the tine rake, freeing my fury from within me,
channeling it through the wooden handle and releasing it with
every hack I make on the ground beneath my feet. It absorbs my
blows without a word of protest, instead merely listening as I
mutter my frustrations and yet again raise the rake.
