"dicing" poems
Mid-October, with leaves spilled like colored pencil shavings --- the streets dicing our town into neat, unfair portions --- and me, eatin' that *****

The Fall
EᔕᔕᕼI ~ ⚪♫⚪ ~ The kitchen's air is redolent with spices, peppers and cinnamon, all-spice and star anise, thyme and curry. The cooks are shouting orders; taking rose-silver pots and copper pans; each having the print of the Lily of Aurelinaea; from the wooden shelves, plates and bowls from the cup- boards; some are stirring soups over coal-fire stoves; others are dicing carrots, potatoes, fresh poultry and more. ~ ⚪♫⚪ ~ Esshi, in a light-green off-the-shoulder dress of rose-silk with a triple ruffle trim, lined with yellow ribbon, a thigh high slit and white lilies beadery, is speaking to the head-chef who nods. "Certainly, Lady Esshi." he says and turns to his busy staff. "Bring out the paella pans! We have orders for the Queen Mother!" "Yes, chef!" a woman says as she pulls out a rose-silver paella pan and places it on the stove. The head-chef turns to Esshi. "You need not worry, Lady Esshi," he smiles. "I will make the dishes with care." ~ ⚪♫⚪ ~ "You always do, Bael," Esshi chuckles as he washes his hands and she walks to the corner, sighing. 'My Lady...' she thinks worried. "Lady Esshi?" her thoughts are broken by a woman's voice. She turns to see a   florist behind her. *'So lost in thought, that I did not hear the door open.'* She thinks as her eyes fall on the flower vase. ~ ⚪♫⚪ ~ The vase is art noveau style; a deep emerald green with a maiden in flowing silks, her hair bejewelled with lilies. Esshi's eyes then rise to look at the flower arrangement - white lilies with lilac kisses, purple roses and several stems of lavender. "Lady Ainhara said I should bring this to you." "It's lovely," Esshi sniffs the fresh flowers. "Very beautiful! You certainly outdid yourself. It's for our young Queen, I take it?" "Yes. And Lady Ainhara said I should bring you this also." She sees her place some paper, quill and ink down and Esshi smiles.

petals. petals everywhere. flower petals. they flood my stomach, overfill into my throat, and spill out of my mouth. i wretch. i heave. i grip the skin on my legs for purchase. the petals just don't stop. petals. petals everywhere. in the morning, when i first wake up, petals. in the evening, when i'm settling in and feeling lonely, petals. at night, when i'm alone in the dark with my thoughts, petals. more wretching and heaving. the petals just won't stop. petals. petals everywhere. when i see your face, petals fly out of my mouth. out of my mouth and onto the cold, unforgiving concrete. my knees buckle. you whisper in a soft voice that could lull me into a blissful slumber. "are you alright?" i wretch. i heave. why won't these petals go away? petals. petals everywhere. my stomach has become a garden. has become your garden. your smile blooms inside of me. your voice blossoms like a morning glory. i could get the surgery. i could get it and forget about you. about the wretching. about the heaving. the petals could go away. slicing. dicing. dissecting. petals. petals nowhere. petals no longer litter the ground i walk. the bed i sleep in. the clothes that itch my dry skin. the sight of your face is now a reminder to me. a reminder that you are a person. a person who never appreciated gardening in the first place. no more wretching. no more heaving. no more petals.

A cold coming we had of it, Just the worst time of the year For a journey, and such a long journey: The ways deep and the weather sharp, The very dead of winter. And the camels galled, sorefooted, refractory, Lying down in the melting snow. There were times we regretted The summer palaces on slopes, the terraces, And the silken girls bringing sherbet. Then the camel men cursing and grumbling and running away, and wanting their liquor and women, And the night-fires going out, and the lack of shelters, And the cities hostile and the towns unfriendly And the villages ***** and charging high prices: A hard time we had of it. At the end we preferred to travel all night, Sleeping in snatches, With the voices singing in our ears, saying That this was all folly. Then at dawn we came down to a temperate valley, Wet, below the snow line, smelling of vegetation; With a running stream and a water-mill beating the darkness, And three trees on the low sky, And an old white horse galloped away in the meadow. Then we came to a tavern with vine-leaves over the lintel, Six hands at an open door dicing for pieces of silver, And feet kicking the empty wine-skins. But there was no information, and so we continued And arriving at evening, not a moment too soon Finding the place; it was (you might say) satisfactory. All this was a long time ago, I remember, And I would do it again, but set down This set down This: were we led all that way for Birth or Death? There was a Birth, certainly We had evidence and no doubt. I had seen birth and death, But had thought they were different; this Birth was Hard and bitter agony for us, like Death, our death. We returned to our places, these Kingdoms, But no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation, With an alien people clutching their gods. I should be glad of another death.

The Doctor has a Sense of Humor! <|> give a surgeon a scalpel and an excuse, and the artist emerges, for creativity is a good surgeon’s natural habitat Sure, sure, there’s a plan, with best and acceptable outcomes, but when messing with a real heart, a sly ***** with numerous deceptive guises at its disposal, you never for sure never know, despite all the advanced imaging techniques, exactly what you will find once you go spelunking in caves of life and death so, he takes a bit from here, and a bob or two from there, there a cut, here an incision deep, Old McDonald provided a body, or a canvas, and the Doc is happy. So I uncover holes where he probed, redeploying the healthy, like a good designer, Doc rearranges and repairs, a travelogue of splicing and dicing, his handiwork Now standing over you for many hours, can get tiring, though each ***** be different, unique even, but leaving a little marker, a stylized signature, is well, is the rightful discretion of the artiste! So you can imagine my surprise when the tubes removed (ouch!) the bandages ripped off in a signature move of a delighted nurse whose loves seeing grown men cry from lesser trivialities, you cannot imagine my surprise when I discovered my new tattoo, upon my chest front and center! *Herein please find your heart repaired, and revitalized: Please Note!

A sinister crimson smile spreads across my lips, thinking wicked thoughts while weapons I equip My inky eyes narrow as I step into the street, I have a dark night ahead & a hero to beat I feel it's time for a new villain to grow, one whose not afraid to watch the blood freely flow I'm going to show them all whose really chief, & never will I suffer any of their grief I ask before I **** them, one last query, "Why so serious?" I laugh viciously, their eyes get teary Then as the blood pours from a fresh cut, I go insane, merely a part of my psychopathic game So here I am, carving smiles into their faces, dicing their flesh into ribbons & laces Waiting for the hero to try & save the day, anticipating a new game for me to play Because around here, you can't just be mediocre They'll see, I'll show them, I am the Joker

Twenty Four . I Am the Joker
Bleed me dry Take all that remains Carry my corpse And take the burden of my shames An empty shell of what used to be So beautiful but so damaged was she Never would have that we would be I needed you more than words can describe My everything, my eternal lullaby Quietly rearranging the pieces of me Never causing commotion Only bringing out emotions never before seen Tainted, touched Your distress equated to my lust Armed with your pain Slicing and dicing hoping to never hit a vein Your words evaded, while my mind corroded Slowly dipping into insanity Please please don't take me Pleading for a retrieve I only wanted you to receive All of the pent up love Inside of me, just waiting to be released I deemed you worthy of it all Now we tumble as we both take the fall Graceful we are not Both of us ****** up from the start Bleak and diseased does our love grow Two bludgeoned bodies trying to make it through I promised I would never leave you Only to be deceived by you You understand my pain and yet here we are I'm ending up with even more scars While you look on from afar But it's okay because I was already dead anyway

I wrap my arms about my torso and brush my thoughts 'gainst you, crying. *Rainwater best cures a torn-soul when boiled in a *** atop a burner left burning all night.* Crying, the sky giveth us wonders and taketh the wonders away. O' the water's down a'boilin'. Ye' it all boils down to you. To you and how you go. Ye' when you go, you go. O' where you a'goin' too? See that go-getter go-gettin' his girl– Good for him. Good for him. Send some good for the man with a will when he wills his will to be. And good for the fingers who first feel a fortune 'fore the fortune is seen. And good for the addicts relapsing in attics with kisses of dopamine. And good for the thoughts of you that brush against my skin, that for days on will hold– *Eighteen! Eighteen! I say eighteen years is the bridge, the forest fires will forever forget to burn!* I say give it a year and call him on that telephone and he will answer on that telephone and you will beg his heart come home, beggin' a'bargainin'– *Eighteen! Eighteen! I have missed you for some time, bent-to-bet a century's pass'd since we last kissed.* One match done been lit in the county matchbook. Such is the click-click of a gas stove igniting, I call that rip-exciting, torn-enticing, fates be a'dicing– *Eighteen! Eighteen! It was another day– It was another life.*

If but some vengeful god would call to me From up the sky, and laugh: “Thou suffering thing, Know that thy sorrow is my ecstasy, that thy love’s loss is my hate’s profiting!” Then would I bear it, clench myself, and die, Steeled by the sense of ire unmerited; Half-eased in that a Powerfuller than I Had willed and meted me the tears I shed. But not so. How arrives it joy lies slain, And why unblooms the best hope ever sown? —Crass Casualty obstructs the sun and rain, And dicing Time for gladness casts a moan. . . These purblind Doomsters had as readily strown Blisses about my pilgrimage as pain.

I can’t write with all this rage The knife I thought I put away That slicing dicing silver blade Always thrusting inwards Always gutting my innards Betrayal and deceit turn upon The victim become his own a-bomb Wasted red-eyed monster And those who committed the crime Walk away scott free without paying Leaving me to do my own time A prisoner of my own angry mind

The Waste Of Anger
*Cossack Cowboys Riding Llamas That they dress In pink pajamas Teeny boppers Blowing bubbles Biker chicks Causing trouble Nuns in Habits Punks in chains One or two Of the deranged Rubbing Buddha belly Cravers And the band Harvey Danger David Bowie Elton John Both of them With Spacesuits on Vegetarians Eating chicken Love it fried Finger licking In a line to Meet and greet Obama Now I wish I'd brought my Mama On the T.V. Slicing, Dicing Infomercials Are enlightening Lindsey Lohan There's more trouble Send the Police On the double Michael Jackson With his monkey Chandelier Swinging junkies Bottle Rocket Ridding crickets Dolly Parton Doing dishes Tubs of Crisco Set for wrestling Bee Gees do be Disco dancing With Bruce Jenner Wearing makeup Dolly's kitchen Filled with soap suds Rubber band Bumper babies Call me odd Don't call me crazy Shooting stars Carry Uzis Washed up stars Drink beer in Koozies Donnie Osmond Singing show tunes As Marie blows Animal balloons Circus Barkers And their Minions Waylon left us Shooter Jennings Heidi Klum Without makeup To say the least She looks a bit rough American flags As rainbow banners Peal, scratch, and sniff Talking bananas Hookha smoking Manatees Oh yea... and then there's me These are just a few of the things that lean On the lamp post of my dreams*

Leaning On The Lamp Post Of My Dreams
We all carry a concealed weapon All have since we've been young Sharp as a knife, used a lot in life The weapon is the tongue It has the power to cut you down Bring you to your knees Also strong enough to lift you up Both it does with ease Yes, it can lift you up Or it can cut you down The latter is done far to often Stabbing at the slightest sound The problem with this weapon Is the lack of self control It comes out slicing and dicing As if backed against a wall We even turn it on ourselves And carve like we're abstract art Leaving not a mark upon the flesh But wounding deep the heart I've talked of using it as a knife But it also doubles as a gun Firing from long distances Beware the weapon in use...The Tongue

The Weapon
i am a skeleton, with crumbling bones and an irregular beating heart on the brink of collapsing. i am an ice cold silhouette of a girl with sunken eyes and shriveled lungs slowly shrinking inside my concaved chest. my hips protrude like shards of glass, shattering onto the gaps between my thighs, and my collarbones are sharper than knives, slicing and dicing a year off my life everyday. i am a rotten corpse, with worn out ribs and a cracked spine disintegrating into nothing but ash and dust. this is what death looks like. i am not my own.

"Why Fruit Ninja?" "What makes you so happy About slicing and dicing fruit?" "I don't understand." I hear it all the time. But I can't explain Why slicing fruit with a giant knife Brings so much joy. Honestly, I find it a bit odd That they can't see Everything in front of their eyes. It's plain to see. For me, at least, It's a simple choice. I can slice the fruit, Or slice my wrists. I can bring pain to myself Or the fruit. Which one Would you prefer? I prefer the cutting of my wrists. However, society thinks Cutters are insane. We have to fit The "socially acceptable" standard So I'll spend my days slicing fruit. My nights will be Consumed by bleeding. Bleeding wrists. Serving their justice for my crimes. Fruit ninja by day. Wrist ninja by night.

Fruit Ninja Obssession
I keep slicing reality With the Knife of Reason, Yet brushing winds Carry scents of hope. Neuron connections of Misconceptions - Is that causation Or empty words? I keep dicing my days Climbing the ego Of a shoreless mind You keep coming my way Wearing nothing but bands Around your thighs - Limelight moments. Ticking clocks. Shivers Down my spine.

"Did you want to smoke that cigarette?" Mrs. Prine asked as she covered her skin in a black velvet nightgown. "That'd be good. Just to be outside." "Right. It's pleasant this evening." Harvey climbed out of the sweat-drenched sheets, slid into his jeans, tossed on a t-shirt, and stumbled behind the widow Prine. The field behind Mrs. Prine's home stood tall -- a rich green sea, with islands of yellow dandelions and splatters of Indian paintbrushes. The two sat down in the tall field. Mrs. Prine closely watched Harvey's moves. Her eyes followed him with gentle observation and understanding-- much like his own mother. A cloud of dust perpetually hung over the Prine place. Mr. Prine chose the abode to escape the hum of cars and exhaust-teeming air, but his reconnaissance was poor. Mr. Prine picked a house that was less than a mile from Kiev, Oklahoma's hidden gem: Sugar's Sweethearts. Sugar's Sweethearts prided itself on being the only strip club in 50-miles. The girls were much older than young, the ******* suffered from much more sag than they did once, and the bar sold nothing but light beer and throat-dicing whiskey. "I think Cindy is going to live with me for awhile," Mrs. Prine's voice whispered then dissolved in vapor. Harvey sat on her words a moment, "Your daughter?" "Yes." "I thought she just had a kid. You acted like it was all fine and dandy less than an hour ago." "It is fine. I don't mind. Her husband cheated on her. ******* "What about--" "Us? Harvey, I know better than to believe this means anything remotely tangible." "It's our escape, Mrs. Pri--dammit--Margaret." "Sure. You and I have a healthy understanding of our needs, while the rest of this overly-religious town empties its restlessness at Sugar's." The suns rays bulletholed through the clouds. Harvey put out his cigarette on an anthill. An interstate of ants led Harvey's eyes to a dead blue jay. Flies and ants alike covered the bird's body. "I love you, Margaret," Harvey got up, dusted off his jeans,"See ya Monday." "I'll see you then, Harvey."

The Widow Prine (Pt. II)

This evil Creeps into the heads Spreading cancers as evolution Evolving to death **** demons            Following men While the devil dances with their women This evil creeps & crawls into skin Slicing babies & dicing their limbs For the root of all evils Shares in our sin In generations of children To what have they learned Life so precious It could be sold for worth Trafficking disgust perverted & birthed This evil Devouring flesh Possessing the news Where the truth is dead It lives in our leaders In each other it spreads It denies our Jesus And our way to be his This evil You feel in bed When you think about How you act & what you did Could you ever forgive Like our God always has For this evil We submit to When given the chance

This Evil
Quick step, step Paw, Sashay Dicing steps, Sleek, Low to the ground, Prancing, Sly gances Creeping slowly, belly stirring leaves Swaying Stumbling And moving on

I am a great cook, you said, casually switching between the phone and knife cutting conversations into small slivers dicing lettuce, add patties, mustard the phone smearing your make-up. balancing between your neck and necklace and long spiral ear-rings. I am a great cook, you continued, head tilted at a rakish angle knife still dancing in mid-air. ( It’s a technique you mastered over the years) Cutting, calling and stalling. I watched those big brown eyes join the talkative salad and burger now taking shape on the table I shrivelled in fear when you laughed and said: I am a great cook and killer of lettuce, stray ladies and flirty men- Ha! Ha! ( oops!) Do you want a beer to go with your burger? did you joke? Author Notes Optional © Marshall Gass. All rights reserved, 22 days ago
