The Cutting Words
She wields a line with full intent
Artful words, dipped in curare
She speaks each one and knows full well
It will strike like a bullet
A blood spray on the floor
A mirror shattered
Shards to be swept at closing time
He sinks to his knees
The glass digging in a reminder
Listen to her carefully
Listen lest she kill.

Listen to her carefully
Listen lest she kill.

I influential representation of how abuse happens to men just as much. Excellent art.

Wish I could claim the art as my own. I couldn't find a credit for the layout, but at least the quoted poet's name is visible. I agree with you about the abuse and that goes both ways. Thank you for the comment!

This brings a couple women I know to mind My Lovely Sir Crow...a fine write which captures one who can keep their head on straight in times of fury and still deliver a message which can both float and sting at the same time...Love you! With much love - Taryn xoxo

There's nothing like grace under pressure combined with verbal skills. Thanks for the fine comment Taryn!
