Sharks, a poem by Danielle Coffyn You are surrounded by us, millions of shark women camouflaged as goldfish. When I share plans to visit a Rage Room, they say "We cannot imagine you angry." Flashbacks of outbursts at 13, 17, 20 spin through my mind before stopping at 23. Like my foremothers, I tempered fury with famine. I pry my ribs open to reveal teeth lining each bone. The famished jaws of a bull shark, row upon row of jagged, hungry rage. One tooth for every moment I swallowed fire. Eventually, I ran out of room. Eventually, we all do.
