The blow sent teeth flying and I can't stop thinking
About white pellets careening in front of my face.
There's something mesmerizing about violence.
It could have been worse, yes.
But it was enough
Enough to make her fall away from her body for a moment
Not because she didn't feel ownership,
But because she felt offended by the loss
Because she felt threatened and upset by how easily pieces of it could be taken away
I don't know,
There's something mesmerizing about violence
