"drilled" poems
We sit on the beach and smoke, Secrets drizzling down our throats, Drilling for oil on the ocean floor Where the neon jellies live. The words get caught up in our throats, We slither like eels in the coral reef Where the neon jellies live, And mate by swimming in paint. We slither like eels in the coral reef And ignore how wet we are, As we mate by swimming in paint, Greens and blues melting together. We never care how wet we are Or how much sea we swallow, Our bellies swell like open eyes, Bursting and spraying our faces Where we can't help but swallow What we spit at our faces, From the oil we drilled from the ocean floor Where the neon jellies live And die while washed up on the shore.

Kiss me, hold me, feel me, feel it... This intense throbbing aching lust of love. Am I too alluring? Can you feel me inside of you? ******* you relentlessly. How hard are you? Is your mind awake? Can you feel a hole being drilled through it? Am I passionate? Am I seducing you to these pleasures that you cannot resist? Irresistible, faint to the touch. To satisfy, you cannot resist the urge. It's pushing through every promise and memory you've ever had. I'm not like the others... You've loved, you've ****** But have you had your earth shaken like a magnitude of an explosive volcano that boils to the top. A flaming ridden peak of desire that never burns out. It's aching.... you're about to explode. Don't, feel it linger instead ...... Are you breathing heavy? Are you shaking, I swear you have never met someone like me before. Call me baby... Papi... Don't love me too hard, I might just leave. Ssssshhh.... It's just a mind ****

Seductive Enchantress
**squinting up the leaves of the bountiful tree i espied a mango ripe and soft with goodness as the sun came gently filtering through aloft the wings of a little fellow with a long beak and a brisk song to celebrate dinner found my feathered visitor hovered above the vintage prize and as his thirsty proboscis drilled the succulent mango the warm enticing juice, natural and healthy as ever, drip-settled in the base of my hungry open eye i thought i heard a flourish in the triumphant bird-song such as one at the fall of a big wicket; and in that slow-motion moment, i knew: the mango was his, and it'd now be eat and let eat, till the last delectable mango**

under the mango tree
The shells are singing holy songs now—oceans whistle through their concert holes. ‘Holes drilled by predators,’ the seashore sings to me. And I’m reminded there’s so much more ancient than man. So much that can never be written down, for words are the limitations of our knowledge —not its end. And there should be something more but really, how does one write what happened with the seashells whistling by the seashore?

Seashells by seashore
I Send my words hurling into your airway like swords I bite off your tongue with every sharp response my body conjures I have every witty comeback on speed dial to drill into your spine The way your gays drilled into mine Pull old pennies from my pockets and throw them into your eyes So you may not look at me the way you have for so long You're are barely worth my pennies anyways Here's a donation to your sorry *** How about I grasp your neck, at just the right spot, just hard enough, to crush your voice box To dwindle your air pipe just a little So you cannot throw those trash comments at anyone else How about I crack each of your fingers Push them deep into your pockets So that you can't feel anything without remembering me You look at me like a mannequin in the window of your favorite retail store You try yo put a price on what I'm worth Maybe you can try me on Throw me on the floor Grab another How about I tattoo my name on your chest So that you cannot take off another piece of clothing Take off another girl Throw them in the floor And not remember me You will never throw me on the floor again For I am permanently burned into your chest How about I burn off each hair on your body One at a time let it Sizzle down and sear the skin Let each tiny poor feel the pain one at a time over and over and over again Until you are left, raw This Is the day I speak back when you catcall me from across the street

CatCall
Your hummingbird heart keeps panicked time; a quick-step march of hollow beats that bruise the arching breadth of your ribs                     (ribs caged by cellophane layers                     of capillaries and fever hot skin-                     don't you worry that those bones will                     someday burst into fresh air, make their mark on                     the rigid landscape?) It would escape if not for my weight pressed down like stones; my body locked between shivering limbs, come in from January's cold to clutch at your fire. You are only slow When sleeping; When your sugar water has run low. I drilled a hole in your dish And drained it away.

I need to try and stop saying discouraging words when I look in the mirror I need to stop wincing at reflections in the buildings windows I need to purposely not look at my reflections to spare the pain anymore People can't believe I hate myself when it comes to physical appearance But the small jokes I make are as serious as my outlook on myself And walking down the hallways is an effort to mask my face and body And I'm desperately trying to patch the holes in myself The holes that allowed my self confidence to leak from me in the first place The holes drilled over and over by the repeated words that weren't meant to hurt But I knew the hidden meaning, I knew the real thoughts underneath And as people constantly hammer in to me you are beautiful It becomes a familiar sound, a phrase more cliché to me than yolo And as the dark cloud of self hatred looms ominously overhead, It is only visible to those who truly know me, those who see the thunderstorm It's funny how the people who try and lift you up end up slamming you to the ground And when you hit rock bottom you stop trying to disguise the rocks that are ugly You stop trying to cover them with make up, you stop trying Because a rock is a rock no matter the cover up, and it'll be ugly no matter what And if I'm a rock someone hand me a chisel so I can carve myself down And shape myself into the girl in the ******* magazine, Because who could ever be a attracted to a girl who wouldn't date herself Who would love someone trying to make up for their lack of love for themselves By loving everyone else, and patching their holes leaving myself empty It's funny how the people who say I'm beautiful would never date me It's funny how my mother will not utter the words that would save her drowning child Yes honey, you  are  beautiful But instead I have sunk to the pit of the ocean, who cares about trying to hold my breath

A little waiting Some vigorous pushing A quick look around On a shaky ground Grabbed the nearby seat Some rest to the feet In minutes squeezed inside By a woman on the same ride Awkward journey The CON for cheap money. Ticket punched Some snacks quietly munched Feel tall from the rest I am in a red BEST The driver is in a hurry I smell some fish curry Over a bridge Some dogs cringe Music for my ears No more travelling fears Nothing gone wrong Now I feel strong My stop is next Replying to a text Trip a little but its okay I think it’s a good day The red bus brakes My balance shakes I fly right on the drivers grill With my face drilled All eyes on me I can barely see I shiver as I walk the stairs No one even cares People just want to get to their destination And I stand numb at the bus station. -Zainab Attari

The Bus Ride
On a New Year's Day in Reykjavik I stood at the very top of that old city, intending to visit the Cathedral there. All at once, there it was. And it was in charge. A gust of wind so strong that it grabbed and   slid me, speeding across several metres of ice, only to slam, face first, into the broad chest of a resident British Embassy staffer. Genially, he smiled down and introduced himself with gentlemanly aplomb. No wonder they had an empire. At least for a while. Oh, that wind! Ever seen snow moving horizontally? Or felt a hole being drilled, in one ear, almost out the other? Deep in the ancient countryside, on the way to the sea, is a lonely valley, held captive by the power of a brutal Gigantic troll. There, this wind has its greatest rival. Even if you can't see them, just tell me you don't feel them... In Reykholt now, that bullying wind buffets a cozy house, but to no avail, for angels watch over a newborn baby girl. Her mother, just a girl when we first met,   now sings tenderly to her own new daughter. Both are princesses of this beautiful island country. Finding kindness, that tough old wind has sent Halldora's lullaby across the open ocean,   over wide blue skies, and onto this snowy prairie where I hear it and cradle it softly, and so gently, to my heart.

Song for the Icelandic Wind
After having been raised and drilled into the ingrained wood with the politeness of "pardon?" "excuse me?" "come again?" his calloused and critical "What!?" brought out my cancerian nature and shelled away my voice, I breathed out a muddled/clumsy rendition of my witty/quirky comment and I instantly became aware that my timid nature wasn't cute but cumbersome.

Frozen Pond Buried deep under a frozen pond, lies a brunette, red head and a blonde. The brunette lived a simple life, her name was Mary and my first wife. Got married young, at age nineteen, I was a king, she was my queen. Caught her sleeping with my brother, so naturally, I slept with her mother. In the winter we went ice skating, drilled out a hole, while I was awaiting. As she got close, I pushed her in, if only the ***** had a fin. Two years later met a red headed beauty, she was a little nuts and a lot fruity. Ginger was this psychos name, once again my brother was to blame. Caught them in his back seat, he played tricks, she gave him treats. On the frozen pond we took a walk, smashed a hole with a giant rock. Pushed her in till she was under, she screamed louder than Florida thunder. My brother the blonde, his name Jake, loved to go to that frozen lake. Playing hockey with his friends, him and his fancy Mercedes Benz. One day we were passing the puck, a hole in the ice and he got stuck. I said, sorry brother but you deserve, to fall in while I stand and observe. Now my life is complete, girls now know better than to cheat.

complexity is your beauty simplicity your mystery interdependence sustains you once upon a time we dipped bowls into your waters and brought up draughts of life now Skipjacks go fathoms deep into endless depletion charting entangled dead zones broadening into a sea of inertness your delicate eco-essence tips toward oblivion effluvia farmers layer mechanized blankets of nitrates on your sunset shores weaving green tendrils of algae blooms strangling the entanglements of all links in your miraculous food chain the EPA proscribes a Jenny Craig pollution diet to halt the slaughter in oxygen challenged dead zones where rockfish are garroted, oysters get drilled by screwworms and azure tinted soft shell ***** dance soft shoe taps lifting a tinny chorus of sad Piedmont Blues the flat-lining watersheds voiceless warnings tremble rocking the purged nests of screaming ospreys in vocal protest of a sinking Tangier Isle anointing it’s tombstones of unvisited cemeteries with multicolored guano fitting alkaline tributes to the lost inhabitants and forgotten languages sinking into the brine of gray brackish tides Delmarva’s fine intra-continental balance skewed by the oozing industrial swill of Frank Perdue chicken farms ruling the roost of sanctioned sustainability tinging clear watersheds of finger lakes set in splints to repair dislocations and complex compound fractures that may never heal again Music Selection: Taj Mahal: Fishin Blues jbm Oakland 6/7/12

Walking walkers that soon vanish around corners   Crazy           cracks                     catch                      crumbs crumbling in crevices. And some man-made drilled drains drum drum drops dripping droplets                                                down                                                drowning                                                 drowning                                                 drains for rats Roaches run rampant randomly. Running rats reach reeking rotten radishes as walking walkers crush roaches running rampant randomly for crazy cracks that catch crumbs crumbling in                                                     crevices. And running rats                       reach                       down                        drains that                                    drip                                     droplets...

You have had me in every way Rising mountains and flooded hollers Gifted with everything, and I have nothing left to offer but this This treasure of depravity As you clean the crevices and ***** my mind Worship, slather,  repeat You delve in fiending for the taste and with each pass of that silver tongue my thoughts get more tarnished And you get...all of me Taken in heat engulfed in passion Drilled to the core Filled with rapasciousness I offered a gift and I was chewed up and swallowed Consumed fully Wanton abandon in caveman style of take what is yours And that...I am

You said you're innocent and that all was just coincidence I sneered "Oh, such confidence.." I feigned my courage but how could I manage to taste this cold spoilt porridge? Why does it hurt more when you say this? Why does your tears feel like acid on my skin? Do you see these wounds? They never healed You scratched my scars All those times you pleaded You twisted the knife you once stabbed You drilled your nails as I watch it jarred to my flesh And what else? Drenched them with brine of memories But where were you all those years? When this girl cried buckets Drowned with her own tears? How I wish You can put her arms back to their sockets Maybe then She will forget how you made her feel And once again Hold you like everything was just a dream. -Twist The Knife, Margaret Austin Go

Twist The Knife
I was terrified of water more than I feared death, From the youngest age, Looking back I guess this makes since, I was the first to climb a tall ladder, I was the first to climb over fences, Talk to strangers, I had no fear of death, It had no bound on me, Still I was afraid of water, One day I woke up in my little green bed, And decided I wanted to swim, Before my fear would make me watch as the other children did, So what's a toddler that can barely walk to do? Give up? no no! I had my mind set on it, So I stumbled right down to the end of the dock, One little leg lifted, Followed by another, I was in the water, I almost drown that day, But death did not prevail then, I was not allowed on the deep end for years and years after other kids, I grew up watching, Dreaming, Hoping, That one day I would swim, My father was too busy to teach me, My mother was too sick to swim herself, Relatives were far away, So I grew up in kiddie pools, It was boring, So very boring, Still years later, Even the sight of a kiddie pool bores me, I did not give up, Although it was drilled into my head that the deep end is dangerous, And so is swimming alone, And so is not wearing a life vest, And so is walking alone by water, And that drowning was bad, Very very bad, It was drilled into my head that it should be my biggest fear, And so it did, But still, Me being me I did not give up, I would grab onto the edge of the sides of my little kiddie pool, And paddle paddle my little feet, I could stay afloat for a few seconds, It took me years, Years, To learn how to swim, No one taught me how, I just tried and tried, It still took me years to not be afraid of drowning, That still haunts me, But I'm still not afraid of tall ladders, Or climbing over fences, Or talking to strangers, I love to swim, I loved to swim even before I could swim, I realized something recently, The criticism from my family, The jabs from my friends, All about how I couldn't swim, Made me want to swim even more, And I did! They never admitted that they were wrong, My grandma thought I was slow I'm sure, Now I've proved her wrong and all the others, Yet still, They expect me to fail, I'll just keep remembering, How they meant to tear me down, But instead build me up, That is the story of how I learned to swim.

In a locked up abandoned room, stands dead people, all worn and torn, all helpless and scarcely unknown. They weep trickles of tears from their eyes, soaking down to their cheeks, innocent faces and scarred bodies, invisible to the world and their minds dreadfully drilled, with thoughts of insanity, as they rot inhumanely. Open wounds and jars of acid, the key lays in one of them, torturous and hardly discredited It's deadly, and extremely rapid. Trapped and held back, suppressed and feelings of soul lack, where the crows die at 3:00am, it's satanic, dark, dull and dim. Hands burn and screams cry, the jar is black, so they hadn't know in which the key lie. The secrets within, dark, deadly and too hard to ****** swim. Weak and demolished, some people collapse in pain and satanic craze, the haze, the daze, thoust peculiar trickles of red rain drops from the ceiling above, rose wine red, depth is dark and foul like jin It's ****** up... Our ghosts keep all kinds of secrets, with their hands behind their back and face hidden and covered in black, suppression creates a place of torturous days and weeping eyes of display... Isolation makes it worse, it creates a lonesome curse... Treat your ghost well, then the dark won't take over, and make it dreaded and unwell... Tell... All your secrets within

The secrets within
I used to keep my baby teeth in a butterscotch tin. I guess I was making an investment in tooth-fairy stock; trying to diversify my easter bunny portfolio. Quarters: Like chocolate I could feed into a Coinstar and turn to dollar bills which I could then use to buy more chocolate. I just, hey, I just remembered that I have a butterscotch tin filled with quarters sitting in the back of my closet right now. Funny, when things move in circles like that--I can’t even remember the last time I ate a butterscotch. Or even how my final tooth came out, which I’d think would be a milestone. I was eating an egg-salad sandwich when I lost one of the last ones-- I just took a bite and one tooth stayed behind. For weeks I couldn’t even look at a sandwich, I just kept thinking about the disturbing look of blood on mayonnaise. I wonder if there’s much business for the tooth fairy these days-- my dad, winding blue ribbons around small stacks of quarters so they’d look nice; my dad, stepping on LEGOs in the dark and stifling swears; my dad, navigating bedroom geography to make a swift exchange while I slept and turned a tidy profit, trading old small parts for riches and a grown-up mouth. Now I wonder what they did with my wisdom teeth, after they pulled them out last year. Were they drilled out, finally, into dust? Or did a dental surgeon slip some pilfered teeth beneath his pillow on the sly, turning one last profit out of my face, the summer someone noticed I needed a grown-up mouth? All I know is that for days I stayed at home moaning into my pillow, strung out on percocet and eating anything that could be sipped through a straw. (It was only then I discovered the Sonic had stopped serving butterscotch shakes--years ago, apparently. You’d think I’d have noticed. But then, you’d think I’d notice lots of things.) I wonder how much my teeth would be worth now. I wonder if the tooth-fairy has adjusted for inflation. I still get excited over stray quarters, but now I guess I just have to find them on the street like everyone else does.

I just, hey, I just remembered that I have a butterscotch tin filled with quarters sitting in the back of my closet right now. Funny, when things move in circles like that--I can’t even remember the last time I ate a butterscotch. Or even how my final tooth came out, which I’d think would be a milestone. I was eating an egg-salad sandwich when I lost one of the last ones-- I just took a bite and one tooth stayed behind. For weeks I couldn’t even look at a sandwich, I just kept thinking about the disturbing look of blood on mayonnaise. I wonder if there’s much business for the tooth fairy these days-- my dad, winding blue ribbons around small stacks of quarters so they’d look nice; my dad, stepping on LEGOs in the dark and stifling swears; my dad, navigating bedroom geography to make a swift exchange while I slept and turned a tidy profit, trading old small parts for riches and a grown-up mouth. Now I wonder what they did with my wisdom teeth, after they pulled them out last year. Were they drilled out, finally, into dust? Or did a dental surgeon slip some pilfered teeth beneath his pillow on the sly, turning one last profit out of my face, the summer someone noticed I needed a grown-up mouth? All I know is that for days I stayed at home moaning into my pillow, strung out on percocet and eating anything that could be sipped through a straw. (It was only then I discovered the Sonic had stopped serving butterscotch shakes--years ago, apparently. You’d think I’d have noticed. But then, you’d think I’d notice lots of things.) I wonder how much my teeth would be worth now. I wonder if the tooth-fairy has adjusted for inflation. I still get excited over stray quarters, but now I guess I just have to find them on the street like everyone else does.

I seek greatness, Not perfection but Something more. I want jagged edges, And symmetry long broken. I want rhythm and beat, rhyming galore, but flowing, so fleet, off the tongue of my keyboard, into your minds, drilled bore never to be filled but left void, never to be lit up or explored save by my depravity, the wanton insanity that is my quest for eternality, for remembrance for the suddenness by which a heart attack do prance tip toeing around your soul, twisting it in, and lithely make you beg for the encore, even still won't be satisfied, I'll become who I am, The best version of myself, Ravenous, more, than any lion, Tiger, or engorged man, Nay, even if I look down upon highest perch, like The Raven itself, Even if Poe himself, were to raise up again, Weeping, claiming oh, John, your poetry, Nay, your beating, has me breathing, Still will I deny that drum, Even then will I be empty, and so this emotion that I am releasing, Will self servedly do nothing, You can not destroy that which is not living, Only close your eyes, and forget quickly, For if you let my greatness roam, Oh upon your shoulders I will loan, my delicious insanity upon the world, And the toll my greatness, shall collect, will be worth more than all the gold. And I'll simply just, waste it away, In search of some greatness, greater still! Some vision, some sign, that is meaningless except, like happiness, In the pursuit, never to be found.

Greatness
Weaknesses My weakness is sweets, but don’t get it twisted, no food is found to weaken me. But a sweet personality can, so can a sweet smile, or a sweet touch. Basically sweet people are like sweet candies  of different cultures, and I shall be a proud cultural culinary taste-tester, moving races like NASCAR in motion. My weakness is money. The all mighty dollar isn’t so almighty to me, but what it can do is. I long for the materialistics of life that money can bring, and the attention it can get you from supermodel brides or low-key bed warmers. I like the feeling of being wanted and tolerated regardless of what I’d do and how I’d do it. My weakness is power, for, if I held the power of a man’s life and spared him, he’d be loyal indefinitely, and that would be enough to satisfy my needs to feel loved. I’d have a friend who felt indebt to me, and that feeling of needing to accommodate would change my view on what was real and what wasn’t. My weakness is attire, for you see, when I walk into a room, I want to draw the eyes of those watching, hateration rising in their veins and jealousy shown on there face. I want the Black haired beauty with the short red skirt and open-toed stilettoes with the dark purple toe nails and thick hips to come my way and think lustfully of me, is it a crime to desire such reactions? My weakness is body, for I love a girl who can take care of herself. Long hair, manicured nails, teeth that aren’t begging to be drilled, it’s a weakness I have and can’t seem to fix. But then again, why would I desire to fix it? I’m not asking for perfect like a conceited rejectionist, or wanting more than what I can give like I was lying to myself, I want someone who can keep up with themselves before even attempting to keep up with someone else. My weakness is *** appeal, because whenever she bites her lip and looks in my eyes, I can see rockets shooting through her glass lenses and aiming at me. But once I smile back, determined face, cute features and as much appeal as I can muster, explosions happen in her body that causes goosebumps to pepper her flesh like shrapnel in a war-zone. My weakness is skin to skin, after all, it’s my right to want to be loved, why not demonstrate it by holding hands? Why not live past the edge and on the tip of existence like birds on a powerline? I am careful enough and she’d be loving enough that no vibes of failing would even cross our way.

Barking along the seething sea Tethys sparkling Sans Pellagrino Bubbled up with volcanic Albido And it exposed the cragged shores Of a incessantly compiling Or Completely snuffed Mountain Bored and drilled by time Sharper than a dying dimond Cooked and left to rest A Dinar plate To which an all you can eat Buffet Played out pleasently From antiquity To present A gift to an aging child To be which pure joy can behold. Today it is home of the Croats The ancient Frontier of a meiotic Rome And over small-grain time Made coats Of arms and animal manes To give a name To the nameless To give a place To the missed That old Tethys barks like a fish Beyond the Odoacerean boot, Scylla and Charybdis Where the whales float And great souls Stolen deep within wishing to find god Fumbling in the dark Searching for Alexandria The flame of life Become great stories to be told And nothing more. Odysseus Hug the shore Follow the land of the mysterious Croats Do not venture beyond the threshold Or you will be consumed by time And lost to her Circedean jealous pines Do not anger the constant love of Helios No, These Croats have never croaked They know not of amphibiotes And the sharpened clades of life Made and tailored bespoke Sowed In the fractals Of the quiet word of Eloah.

Did you die inside? Did you cry? When she spit in your face, And told to never come to her place, Did it hurt to watch her flirt with all those guys. They say she turned wicked, When she heard you cheated. Everything you put her through, She didn't even have a clue. But what was worse, You made her curse. All those things you said, The thoughts you drilled in her head. She went mad, Dated this guy I think his name is chad. He thinks he's a **** Because he sells drugs. And she's ill from, From all the ******* pills. You saying it was her fault, Was a ******* insult. Anymore me and her don't talk much, but the other day we had lunch. Now she's working the streets, Just to make ends meat. Has a cute little baby, His name is davie. Chad left, Cause davie is actually deaf.
