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.
