tremble

an intellectual discussion
on a small word---
such a loaded word,
from where I sit.
SO many things that tremble can mean,
or suggest,
not fear exactly.
More delicate than that.
When I am afraid I shake,
bone deep, and wracking.
When I am angry,
it comes in waves
and I vibrate,
But few things make me tremble,
and all of them are dangerous.
Tremble means my heart is involved,
tremble means I have been touched,
tremble means I should not go there,
and always
tremble means I already have.
