Your circular saw intrusion
slicing the air,
unwelcome jolt
my emotions raw
jangled,
as the door shuts
tension remains
your departure
leaves the air unresolved,
like a tightrope
I’m on edge
with the day.

Wordings incite a call for fortitude and taking a disposition as perpetrator or victim. Nicely orchestrated Paul. ☕😊
