Punches of kind
the physical ones
and the verbal assaults
cause excruciating pain.
The bodily scratches
can be slight and unnoticeable
in physical assault.
They disappear with time
and fade from memory.
Those that are deadly
causes a maim-
a permanent disability
or turn fatal. A situation
where memory has no role.
The verbal punches
can be a tease
with a derisive intonation
or a venomous outpour.
The dimensions
are impregnating.
Callous and heinous
they sound. The spit and spat
kill the spirit.
An outburst:
where emotions
play the card.
