"forceps" poems
I like slandering your makeshift forceps. I hammer you down with watery *** and then spill the remainder on the couch. Yarg! A diamond’s worth at least a small intestine, and you are worth whatever’s left over after night has upended itself, poured sideways out of its shellacked crawlspace, and turned the basement sour. There are remnants of you in the park, some red stain by the baseball field where, if you’ll remember, you watched little leaguers build teamwork, and faint splotches on tree bark from your lactations which, if you’ll remember, happened every morning. I whisper your godforsaken name and am slapped in the head. The children cry when I smile. I cry when the children smile. Good heavens. I forbid you from not entering my corridor, even as I set up a barricade. I like my water scalding, my passion chilled, and I like you in easy-to- swallow doses. I like you in my eggs. Ditto the faucet, keyboard, the occasional lily, but do not mess with my pearls. I mumble of apodictic meadows while I sleep. What can I say? I do not mumble of unclogging your bathtub, which has a certain foul repute, and has grown heavy and ugly with your hair, which is everywhere, just as you are everywhere, and wherever, and so ********* hidden it’s not funny anymore, we stopped looking some millennia ago, after scouring the drainpipes, kicking down your doors, dissecting your mattress, speculating about your burial site, etcetera, and even so we have not been really looking all this time, have we, just blaring your name through the speakers, putting wrong numbers on our calling cards, leaving uncooked meat out on the back porch as if you were a raccoon, oh, or a lion, which you are not, or not quite, though, as the books say, you have honey in your stomach, and if you could but be ripped open we would taste and see.

Sleep-deprived Birdcall (in the year in which the weather cancelled the subcommittee on the weather)

Let me to the Incarnate Mother must The Eldest of Sudden Truth understand One Day, which shaky Candles will delust The Object's Manner of a Blackened Hand I deliver Forceps to which Heart grows What Heart's own Attrition dares to admit The Mum of Three Promised Knights beknows The Receipt of such Devotion permits Verily, Age is a Factorless Sum, Easily enclayed by a Donkey's Foot And when the Festival lays down its Lump It locked the Door to keep the Sorrowful. Now, Elder-Mum, try to lift your Wise Head This Extended Son, wishes your Love be fed.

SONNET TRIBUTE: MARILU NOBLEZA
As if he had been poured in tar, he lies on a pillow of turf and seems to weep the black river of himself. The grain of his wrists is like bog oak, the ball of his heel like a basalt egg. His instep has shrunk cold as a swan’s foot or a wet swamp root. His hips are the ridge and purse of a mussel, his spine an eel arrested under a glisten of mud. The head lifts, the chin is a visor raised above the vent of his slashed throat that has tanned and toughened. The cured wound opens inwards to a dark elderberry place. Who will say ‘corpse’ to his vivid cast? Who will say ‘body’ to his opaque repose? And his rusted hair, a mat unlikely as a foetus’s. I first saw his twisted face in a photograph, a head and shoulder out of the peat, bruised like a forceps baby, but now he lies perfected in my memory, down to the red horn of his nails, hung in the scales with beauty and atrocity: with the Dying Gaul too strictly compassed on his shield, with the actual weight of each hooded victim, slashed and dumped.

The Grauballe Man
Of immaterial vision birthed in mind. Of spirit annihilating the selves, of calling it plan. The one- a semblance scattered on deck space refracts on reflections of the reactions of tokens of the carnivalesque, of the hunger artists, of phenomenon- which may or may not exist depending on reflective surface of the true self, of the motion of tides, mocks motion in body, of obsession. The tonality of the "be" and the "is" and the "will be" is deafened by the "I am," by the Ohm. Of shuddering and implanting embraces, of blessing on every ember of cleanliness that is true self, of the oneself that exists above selective memory, not draft of time arrow but the material existence of dream, not disembodied but embodied. Of breeding, of circumstance and forking fourth dimension prison terms, of crowd control, of she wolves and their feral children, of forceps interpolating material reality of conception, of Dreamtime, of pain, of pleasure, where they are relations- of skin perversely hanging, dually, gratifying and sullying- Fraying beautiful disasters that react to invisible ripples I, the oneself, implore you to awaken in your utility and then outside of it. Take those boot straps and bend the bars of confinement with them. Chisel and sculpt light into a fabrication of quantum of action. Celebrate the ordinary and expose it. Of stargazed caustics, of the early universe. I stand awake as not the expression of design and no longer connected to Earth by my roots but awake inside cocoon, entrapped behind slits, of alien cage otherness. The Akh beseeches ownership of the Ba I want play dice with god and end in draw. I am Sekhmet-Wadjet who dwells in the west of heaven, I am Sahyt among the souls of Of.

I sat on the dentist’s chair With an aching tooth, feeling hell The dentist seemed quite pleased As he opened my mouth and surveyed ‘There are holes to be filled And the plaque to be removed It needs a few sittings At the end, you’ll have a set of fine teeth’! His gentle assurance was so comforting And I thought my jaws no more have to suffer The pangs and torments of an aching tooth! He then, in a narrow syringe Injected something into my gum I knew a numbness creeping in Until at last I felt a hard rock within Now, like an expert work man He began his rigorous craft Loud machines began to boom The chair got flattened From 'verticality' I got changed into 'horizontality' And the overhead apparatus came down Like an eagle swooping down on its prey. With blaring lights blinding my vision, I lay torpid as if my body was strapped The doctor took out his steel and hammer And started tapping and chipping Drilling and boring Though numb, I could still feel the pull and tug The crooked forceps and pliers Made all the nerves in my head irk My mouth was filled with saliva And I felt a sprout of blood inside He stuffed some gauze and resumed his work I wanted to yell, ask him to stop But being gagged, I couldn’t utter a word My pupils dilated My lips quivered My tongue got parched I gasped for breath With a mix of cement and sand (?) He began filling and plastering Scrubbing and polishing Helplessly lying on the dentist’s chair, I wondered What whips and stings one has to endure To end the pain and give the teeth a shine!

I am panic Frenzied particles Moving and shaping Everything I seem to be Inside of a Concrete cage of consciousness Inside of a Dazzling dot and dye marked Enigmatic epidermis Here I am I am ice cold Frost bitten to the core A bullet train made of sleet Running on cyanotic cylinders And the gritty grating salt Beneath your cold, wet shoes All at once I dissolve and destroy myself Yet I just keep Coming back Here I am I am as satisfying as The long winded palindrome On the tip of your tongue The redundant rhyme You chanted as children And the hymn you harmonized With haunted heathens Here I am I am the all encompassing embrace Of all that you are ****** up futile flaws and Autonomous awe inspiring anomalies I will hold it all together In the way no other has My seams of love Stitched and sewn With intentions as pure as gold And nothing else Nothing more Here I am I am the writhing writer Frantically feverish with Fingernails like forceps I pry these words from My brain like a Sickening surgical procedure On a ***** disheveled mattress As if they were Ingenuities oozing with infection Here I am I am the ritual rebirth Wrongfully righteous reincarnation I tip and turn like the tides Lurching at the shore Time and time again In an endless cycle I am Looking for Nautical nirvana Here I am I am the exceptional exchange Of a daunting and diligent dialect Only few can understand And to those fluent In my twisted and tiring tongue I say Here I am

And it comes with some pain the the bullies from our childhood were a result of social Darwinism, at least in the sense of the state, where capitalism reigns and the most ruthless and powerful win all the freedom. Us cowards were too scared of violence to do anything about it. The teachers barred us from bullying, and with emotion they punished bullies, when they could be caught. Punish the bullies so they will develop the slavish obedience not to harm their peers, so in the future they will merely quietly compete up the ladder and sigh at the impossibility of their ladder extending past their bully bosses. If you want to have real freedom and fortune in this life, I hope you never stopped being a bullying child. I, like most children, bought the obedience and swallowed it like morning pills. In rows I sat, I pledged to red white and blue, and while the bullies slapped our heads, we kept our retaliation to unified grumbling, yet in a school there is no strength in numbers, besides the strength of harmonizing our slavish sighs. It’s just like at work under our bully bosses. The strength of the individual is denied in a school, so we can work like a cog, working hard at our shape to fit best into the machine. The bully notices the competition early on and acts hard, swift, and originally. For this is how wars are won. But us slaves have our way of converting the bully, we have numbers on our side, yet little strength. Out of weakness we tell the bully that they are an ill shaped cog, and they will never be able to help the machine if they keep their powerful aggression. Conversion to slaves may occur, or a half convert is created who is too deluded with their new illness, so they can do little physical harm to anyone anymore. And all without a drop of blood. We go to work secretly competing with each other, in order to buy the system’s validity at the end of the week. And we rip each other‘s teeth out in our dreams

Our choice of poison is devotion, too much: inebriated. too little: insufficient. Our choice of diction, susceptible, an anomaly: dissected in a lab table. Poked by: forceps wielded by gloved hands. There is no mystery to our misery, because the venom of our loneliness is a composition of our aesthetics.

How does a poem mean?
He came, reluctantly pulled by his head At the hands of a masked man, Using large metal, Salad Tong appearing forceps, Rudely, crudely yanked from his mother’s Cervical embrace, into the glaring, First Light of intended living and breathing. His head now misshapen, (To return to normal they assured,) His little body more blue than pink, Umbilical cord around his neck, Absolutely ridged, not moving, No sound did he make, appearing more gone than here. My own breath did cease until to my relief, His tiny arms and hands did give notice Of life, followed soon after by a fitting Shrill scream of rebuttal, a rebuke to The light, the air, the rude process That had brought him there. One moment at peace, safe and warm Within his womb of tranquility, dreaming Whatever dreams the pure and innocent's Do dream, then abruptly ripped from All that peace, out into all this! At that moment I too wanted to join in, Echo his howl, his guttural protestation, I too swept up by that ethereal wave of disturbance Feeling his struggle as if he was drowning in new found air. For me, as if at this moment of his birth, I too was being reborn. My knees grew weak, I was for a instant dizzy, I struggled to regain my own lost breathing. Restart my own heart, fight back the water in my eyes. I let go of his mother’s hand, she with eyes closed, As if sleeping, exhausted from too many hours of labor, My respect and love for her and her magnificent efforts, Expanded then to boundless. The tender masked women in white, They with shining, smiling eyes, Quickly cleaned, and wiped him dry, Swaddled him in a tiny blanket and laid him into My unaccustomed arms, and for the very first time In our lives, I looked upon the face of my son. At that precise moment, some purposeful mental, Primordial emotional switch, was indeed flipped, And I, WE would never be the same again.

The young woman struggled, she pushed and bore down. She was covered in sweat when they first saw the crown. The doctor, with forceps, Tried to coax the newborn Into the light from the womb dark and warm. What came next was amazing, a wonder to see. The obstetrician so shocked He nearly dropped the baby. A cute baby boy- There no cause for alarm- and his miniature wings Merely add to his charm. This cuddly cherub hovered feet off the ground. The umbilical cord All that kept him earth bound. His wondering mother Was clearly perplexed, For none of her lovers had been winged’ sexperts. True, one was named “Angel”, her Swedish masseuse, but, apart from good hands, he’d been of little use. Perhaps that old goat With the lengthy Greek name Who muttered “by Zeus” Every time that he came. Not that it much mattered Not here or not there Still there’s no denying Her boy’s got a pair.

Blessings indeed bill this Sacrosanct Day Then corral your Fortunes for Candle-Light's Way.

SONNET TRIBUTE BIRTHDAY: KASSIDY COOK
Empty hearted Nothing pulling you one way or the other Bone clock At town square Where the table is talking to the chair. "The chair speaks at 12 o'clock!" the table calls. The wind howls through the dusty streets And the typewriter of the the town sends what the chair speaks. "Hey . -.-- .," the chair speaks "Where it divides you." "Divide and multiply." "Don't blink, for it thinks to nullify." Doorknob is a beating heart Bleeding sharp objects to the floor Screws, razors, and knives bled to the floor. Walk one way, on carpets. In through the back door walks another Ethereal form, Soft outline. He's a calculator puking formulas Puking squirming formulas With only two buttons Divide and multiply. "Life = add, subtract, divide, and multiply." Understanding: simplified But Hey . -.-- . seems to nullify. Take a chunk out No ****** recognition A piece of wire from the chin up through the nostril, Oneself at the back door. Threatening to sleep, Twoself. The couch sleeper Chiefing at the end of the couch. Threeself Craving, longing, slinking around, Fingers as crooked as trees and wants, Spines for legs and spines for arms. A cough through the walls, Fourself Forceps A cough through the walls. Dish detergent surgeon, Pieces floating in the water. Water, a shower surfing on a person feeble in the shallows, The selves (listen) twitch together and, in time, strike by the hour to Hey . -.-- .

The Forceps on the Skull The Freedom Down my Throat The Careless Jaunty Attitude The Dead boy long Gone No voice, No mouth, No brain No Opinion, No Choice, No Thought The child coaxed in rudiments The warm fuzz ball of puke The play-doe reindeer bones The bandaged up wild wet wagon movie Throaty Toe drum octagon Therapy Slowly Octopus keymaker Uh, you don't know me Grow old in set bone brains Can't hold a lighter to a memory of a conversation flicker Septum dust headbutts tattoos of a mirror **** shiver What's His Name? What's His Name? Slidin’ care home cider casket cycles home Nun **** jar finds a hair in comb Hold a Jug up to your speakin’ ear and drink Run circles round the square Run circles round the square Why don't you just do it? Why don't you just?

The Wooden Orphan
feasting is beastly devouring the measly souls of the weaklings how mild and meekly cowering, quivering stock-still, but shivering delivering evil at doorsteps grabbing the forceps take a few more steps I'll cut you and your kids and your wife with her fits are you aware of the pits of despair? **** now you're scared **** all your cares 'cause you're going nowhere except back to that place drool drips down your face crusty blood-caked lips you faked your trips seen what I've seen? please, your nightmare's my dream nothing as it seems sewn up the seams blown up the reams of **** that you wrote and with a knife at my throat I'll dare you one dare just one sit there and stare

If, Ands, but not Buts
Invisible forceps hold my eyes open, Incongruous actions have my mind stolen, At where beginnings end in misery, At where "The End" is stressed bitterly. Corrections and titles have made amends To resounding ripples of tugs and bends Upon the surface at where life may lie, And carry us all beyond mind and sky... Yet locked on the bedrock and solemn remains Of which sins of fathers now decay, We sit upon catapult, on trebuchet Awaiting a life in which we sustain Charitable notions and build the way, For a time in which we smile in the rain. It feels as though I'm lost in a dream and am searching for water in steam, Possible, improbable, awaiting the cool, To siphon it down into a pool, And perhaps there my flooded reflection Will not surpass without detection, And maybe I will gaze into myself And realize I am here to help, To see and touch and taste and feel, To hear and Be, a part of what's real, I will know the true darkness inside my eyes, By looking beyond my own disguise.

when a pronoun retracts and becomes compounded e.g.: itself, himself... it complicates matters with a dually functioning vigor of content expression: which extends thanks to the surgical assertion that the definite aritlce (scalpel) and indefinite article (forceps) proceed to govern a. retractive pronoun usage     within compounding     is reflexive (reflex bias) and b. pronouns given unto punctuation      markings are reflective,      the notorious "i" of      sartre's usage;      in the poor sense of the word      when expressed as mirror-image,      since sarte's linear dittoing      markings possess a narcissistic chiral      exclusion of an active ownership of will      that's simply a misuse of      denotative marking -      it would simply imply an orwellian      conception of double-think, of                          "      what's           "                   actually defined via                                                 "        thinking about it when orientated by gemini        (i.e. the ditto markings          imply a repeat,          or simply - as above / follow suite.)

pedant
The beast mortified inside Breast aflame about to burn Inside he dies Where the black flower Blooms into anew He will seek respite For past sins Old grievances Poured into a summer blue His *** meaningless Spite cracks the whip Plurality the dinner knife Sanitation foresaw Without the forceps Boarding on a foregone conclusion The spring mattress Made broken No time for resale His' cage, not a solitude Words obtuse and unabused Love is his knight Shining and gleaming Scornful without hate Shameful but sane His burden The heart Colliding with the bar

Bar Fly
I moan as the pleasure goes through me, He loves me, he said so. Thirteen is so much fun, I am so in love, he is so cute The passion of his body as he shares his love with me in me over me on the smooth top of the car. I sob pitiful tears as I hold my hair back I try to throw up the moving in my womb It clings to life and wont let go. Holding on to my pelvic sides Body shivering Body retching No release as it gently survives Oh my heart is broken The scalding hot bath numbs the isolation. I don't see my love any more, someone else has his love Still it wont release my womb from within It holds on to me clings to me claws at me as I feel him grow. The embarrassment of my parents Mother cries bitterly, Father hangs his head in shame I cannot keep this ******* child" I will lose those alive I love So lonely So confused I must give up if I want their approval The pinch of the needle as it enters my skin, The chair, the nurse, the forceps. I stare up at the florescent light that beats my body hurting me for the child within probing me cutting him Through the blur , I’m sure I hear a scream The ache as I see my baby go No life, Just pieces of left over life His pain is gone he feels no more Free Unknown Incinerated Antibiotics my health slowly restores My memory still at thirty one is torn would my son, who never was looks a little like my daughter who now is holding my hand loving trusting forgive me for my decision of say farewell

Philosophy. Elegance. Yet Sense un-done That Time-by-Time those Bantered ***** retweet Which - by Fair - smoke these Elements become Breathe Conscience into Sage; And thus we meet If only should your Fresh Convention wear Prune these Forceps to your Young Tridents fixed At least a Wee - and a Wee bit of hear Some Owl's Downey Feathers make to your Mix And what I offer - if Offer be Creed My Base Mortal Template bound to Annoy Was simply to Watch; And respond to your Need Though my Voice un-qualify to your Ploy. At least I Tried. Though surpass Dimension Usurper I be; Though Honest Intention.

SONNET TRIBUTE PENANCE: WILLIAM DALEY AND BENJAMIN DALEY - MIND
"Congratulations" The head nurse was an attractive lady with the rank of squadron leader, I think." You have Amoebic Dysentery, that means you can't eat and you must drink at least eight pints of chilled water every day until you are clear, when you have eaten your first meal without any problems, you can go, until then keep drinking the chilled water, and under no circumstances must you eat any food at all" We remained in the isolation hospital for about five weeks, It was tedious in the extreme but it had to be done, After the indignity of a medical, involving a swab of cotton wool on a pair of long nosed forceps, we were both given the all clear and discharged. We were instructed to go to the transit block and wait there for further orders, we would be sent for when a flight was available to take us to rejoin the rest of the unit in Australia. the transit block was a huge empty three storied building that had once been used as a prison camp by the Japanese.  We chose a smaller room at the end of the ground floor, it was a bit more comfortable there. We used it as a base, for exploring the camp, no one seemed to want us, and as the days passed we spent a lot of the time swimming in the pool at the Selarang barracks. which was only a couple of miles down the road. The walking and swimming was good excersize, but we needed to keep our eyes open, there were often snakes on the road, ready to bite the unwary. One afternoon, we were stopped by a redcap. He demanded to see our twelve fifties ( identification cards). "Where have you two been for the last three weeks." "In the transit block Sergeant."  "No you haven't, I have checked it every day." Where is your gear?"  "In the transit block Sergeant."  "Show me." he demanded. We did. "This is not the transit block, this room is reserved for fire pickets!" We have been searching for you two for weeks."  I couldn't help smiling. The sergeant was not amused!  Two days later we climbed aboard a twin engined transport . We were bound for Australia via Ceylon and a small Island somewhere in The East Timor Sea. Of course nothing could go wrong, it was just  going to be a routine flight!

How can I move on when I never got to finish? When I was pulled away from my co-dependent life source with forceps around my neck? Detached like stitches that weren't ready to come out It hurt like hell. Like hell was exactly the way Catholic school described it Eternal flame because time doesn't heal **** The closure I never got like mom didn't close the door behind her I had to get up and close it myself except I kept falling down the stairs I want to get up and close the door so bad, it's just that it's scary. I don't want it to happen again I don't want to silently die on the bathroom floor again I don't want to live off of my own blood again I don't want to be so sure that I'm insane It's uncomfortable like bed bug infested hotel pillows It's like I don't want to forget you I guess that's it... I never want to forget you God you were so good

On the Concept of Moving On:
And lovely must these Potent Shadows bloom To whose Foreign Masklettes we must Remind That Forceps - or whatever clasps the Gloom 'Tis better to Uplift and Throw behind So I Noticed of Numb Silences fill, Be Favoured versus the Pursuit of Wrath For whose Grapes the Wrinkled Author did spill And cause those Trenches quake on my behalf Lessons pile Lessons more. And then by tripe Sort from which Squares and Sly Spheres do Predict Which Way is turned; Or Algorithms bite Bend Points and Sinuses by Derelict. Still those Shadows stand; As induced by so Which of your Sexes be the first to go.
