Category Five
It is both what you say
and how you say it,
marbles falling heavily
from your mouth hitting
the floor and shattering,
each word a moth made
of steel.
It is the way you clench your
fists, break only things that
belong to me,
and the way you move,
direct, calculated,
like the eye of
a hurricane before striking.
