THE WAIT
 The days were long, the wait was even longer
She hoped she would feel stronger
Weighing up all the pros and cons
Thoughts snaking around like pythons
Writhing and wrestling each other out of the way
Little or no sleep, trying to get through the day
Talked of nothing else, nothing made sense
There could be no more pretence
They grouped together, huddled in the corner
Batting at her mind, strafing with anger
So when the judgement came it was with some relief
Her emotions overflowed, she let out her grief
A primordial scream cut across her brain
She would never go through that again.

  6. What is it about the word "primordial" that evokes such an emotional response?
