When someone

something bashes into me

I am mad in an instant - desire to strike

let me use my hurt to hurt

I suspect Louise Bourgeois

unlike the spider, was often mad

maybe what she means

is bashing back

isn't necessary

if repair

is a silken thread

of focus your guts

spin, an internal

uncompromising

use of energy

to feel whole
