Malediction

Malediction, imprecation,
cruel conviction in diction.

Hurled like sharpest spears
out of the fiery mouth,
prepared in
a wounded and vengeful heart.

Then they lodge deep into another heart.
And burn,
and burn,
and sap life, hope, and faith.

"The power of life and death is in the tongue."
