Cutting remarks

Cutting remarks.

One could not tell

the knife throwers

in the crowd.

They all appeared the same.

Or whose blade

sunk the deepest,

they all felt the same.

So much is read

on whisper trails

broken on entry,

heads cower away

boughed, guilty.

oh my this is a terrific, strong metaphor...

words have the shiny and deadly metal of a blade that can cut so deeply.
