Nerves of steel wrap
themselves around
explosive emotions.
When barely controlled
hilarity, red-eyed anger
or deep grief
threaten to toss reason
to the wind, these nerves
of steel, forged in
an instant, disappear
as quickly when threat
of explosion is gone.
“After great pain, a formal feeling comes.
The Nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs.”
~ Emily Dickinson
