Abigail Primpot, Abigail Primpot,               …stirred her iron *** Abigail Primpot, Abigail Primpot,              …home of death and rot, Abigail Primpot sewed and stitched a lot. She produced a sweater that shined like treasure,                            …and no one else has ever seen much better! Abigail Primpot learned to cook from old wives’ tales in an old dusty book. Frog legs, bird gizzard, wolf’s bane, small lizard, one rotten apple and one sharp tooth, …cup of mead, some spices and a bottle of vermouth, a chant and a song and a wizard’s spell, …and a whirlpool in the cauldron that went to Hell! Abigail Primpot likes to stitch ‘cause she is a witch and though she was quite young; she lived with snakes, bees and scorpions and things that stung! *Abigail Primpot would become a Beast when she wrapped herself in her shining fleece!* Abigail Primpot,               ...her home stunk of death and rot, Abigail Primpot,               ...sewed and stitched a lot, Abigail Primpot,               ...she had an iron *** Abigail Primpot, Abigail Primpot.

Abigail Primpot
Grand edifices, seem pretty nice Hoarding up money, such a heist Pockets full, everything to boast All that luxury, all that toast Curtains of wealth, over those eyes Trapped in such a state of vice Stockpiles of silver and gold Deal, a sign, everything sold Wealth in reality, zero a price Counting em, this year x thrice Pretending to be above n bold The stiff heart you couldn't mould Crawling over body, ants and lice Scorpions too, it's nothing nice Shivering with fear and cold The pain, agony, all foretold In the grave, horrendous mice Game's over for the rolling dice No one to tell, weren't you told To that paper now grab a hold May it be Burj khalifa, all those malls The huge tall towers, everything falls Sabotag shall suffer those proud walls (Awaits!) The vast stage, superior than all halls

'Towers Fall'
I step outside and feel my nose crinkle Look to the sky and watch the V’s fly south Walk through the woods and hear the leaves whistle Take a deep breath and taste fall in my mouth. A start to the happiest time of year Everything’s changing like wind where it blows. Squirrels hide acorns, scarecrows create fear, Pumpkins make faces at kids and their clothes. Delectable treats in bags and buckets, Scary films to watch on the edge of your seat. Kids running around creating ruckus, Stomping on leaves in the street with their feet. Lets not forget Oktoberfest and beer; Where people gather ‘round to celebrate A special event that’s held every year, Something so special you can’t replicate. Delicious mystery looms in the air While evil spirits meander ‘round town. Libra gives the torch to Scorpions heir And leaves pile up into one big mound. The autumn harvest is now creeping up Making food to put on everyone’s plate. A great time of year where change is a must Because without change, nothing can be re-made.

October
My heart yearns for an adventure For a strange and rare venture Oblivious of the tons of dangers For in adventures I ain’t a stranger For I would relieve childhood years That I spent with my little peers. An adventure in distant lands Where the children play with wet sands. And dolphins jump out of water When the noon sun makes the ocean hotter. Where the fisherman yaw his boat To capture all the salmon afloat. An adventure by the oasis in the Sahara desert Where Tuaregs sit by the cactus to eat dessert. And watch as scorpions prey on lizards To feast on their gizzards. I want day sun to warm my smooth skin And the night cold to shiver my crude chin. An adventure cuddling cold snow on my hand Where the icy pillars in their majesty stand. And make a cave of snow Strong to stand when wind blow. Then I will scare the polar bear That my cave like a paper wants to tear. An adventure on the corn field When in summer the flowers yield When the butterflies pollinates the corns And the farmer weeds out the thorns I want to watch the corn spring to life When the early rain is rife An adventure across the sky in a plane And watch as daylight slowly wane. I want to leave a route on the sky That in the future I would still ply. Then immortalize my name in the cloud That dark clouds in their anger cannot shroud. An adventure deep in the amazon woods When the purple squirrel burrow for food. Where the monkey sway their tails And red roses litter narrow trails. I want to watch the ants builds their mounds As the ripe mangoes fall on the ground. An adventure that will lead to places Leaving on all its paths my traces. Permanents prints that will last Even when my life like history is past. And my adventure would be told as a tale That like time will not stale.

scorpions in sandles
At his little hippie college he shows me a *** that looks like a wall in a Rwandan museum, all skulls, he learned clay in the Rift Valley boarding school, on a kick wheel, still his favorite My brother is a potter multicolor plaid shorts little goatee Banjo Japan dreams girl from Mozambique. When we were little in Loiyangalani we made tiny huts out of obsidian while our Rhodesian Ridgebacks sniffed the ground for cobras sand vipers scorpions while twenty camels walked by in a row followed by tiny replicas My brother is a potter, says to me 'When I am doing this I am doing what I was created to do' He makes a green and blue candleholder for me which he calls 'The Islands,' light escapes through many holes which look like sea turtles pockets of air and an atomic bomb just gone off we turn off the lights in my room in the hood, snorkel in candlelight My brother gives me Rumi, incense, peace flags We walk the silent night smoke a clove look at stars like we used to do in the African riverbeds

Angry all the time
One minute, he's passing out candy to the local children and within an hour he's ********* his M4, spitting lead at hostiles, dialed into killing them. It's no wonder he got inked with dual scorpions, one on each arm, before he rotated back home.

The first time i went to church I was terrified It was an old church and bore the cracks and tombstones to show it I was terrified because I was convinced that Jesus was trapped in the attic chained to the rafters malnourished and wild eyed scruffy and emaciated our lord and savior a sunken eyed chattering skeleton and I didn't know why they kept him up there feeding him our sins while preaching their love like scorpions as the herd grows larger

Dream for me a Savannah, a sestina in reds at Pandora’s threshold, clothed in bludgeons of light and these tears are nothing but the nightingale’s burden, the words laden and livid as storm across the mauve wasteland unfolds, the sky in its deceit, promises rain, delivers nothing, in this room the light will ruin me, the squall of glass slippers overhead, on my knees, now the abstraction of the body, opaque I write in the limber whisper of fingertips, deep villanelles about love, restless love on the skin of your back, histories annotated by gestures of supplication, I drag fingernails across a fairytale and out falls a wide-eyed harem, April-blue veils trail their blood, narrowing the flagrant staccato echo in my sternum, A palm reader warns of conduits and spells, the darkness that puddles like lake water in my mind, moths of Summer a fragrant blue, restless blue notes like scorpions scurry beneath the blankets, strands of hair, stained sheets this vacancy glows through the shears I forget, how early, and still the night falls here, as how early it fails.....

When my height is matched only by my age,the sage told me, 'that I will have found an ecstasy so rare,that no one will ever, have ever been there. I count the rings as if I am a tree but ecstasy eludes me, as I knew it would. I could have counted grains of sand and after,started on the rice or carved upon a cuckoos egg,something very nice,just to let the cuckoo know,that we know why she builds no nest. I have festered long enough and boiled up in the glare of a staring midday sun,it's time and time has just begun to interest me, never mind the ecstasy, that will come as surely as the night begets the day,one day my day will arrive in all its splendour. This is the agenda that I look towards the sky and pray for, a gender difference in her magnificence and I would bow before this maiden,laden as I am with all these wantings in my head. I read once in a book, that all it took was just a look and then we're trapped,wrapped inside her spider web,carried off and eaten in her silken bed,but I would like to try it anyway,come what may my day will run before the settings of another sun and I will taste that which is fun or I will die, in contempt and contemptuous of my inconsistency,I allude again to my search for ecstasy and is it that my eyes or indeed my body fail me,when she hails me from her sanctuary? and I see only what I want to see, something that the sage had been careful not to tell me, fruitless. On the tree of evolution, I am just some insects ignorant secretion and as I wait for some predetermined 'who dares wins'completion I count again the rings.

I've been all across Texas , and in return Texas has been all across me Jim Bowie took a stand at the Alamo When he had been ordered to retreat He was perhaps protecting his hoard of gold found in some lost central Texas mine next to Mexicans and the twisting mesquite Austin has a city limits Full of out of state conceit And it's a two day crossing While it's snowing on one side The other is summer heat They grow sugar cane in the south Up north winter wheat My sister was born forsaken In Wichita Falls complete Black widow spiders , scorpions The backyard full of rattlesnakes That we used to beat She was the only rose that had the Yellow hair And when she left Texas She never went back there

Like two scorpions in a bottle, The two wolves continue to fight. One holds never-ending dominance Relentlessly mocking and scolding. The slanderous one, better known as the chief The master, better known as my back bone. The other wolf; the sufferer, Facing the horror of the fire. Like luscious, vibrant air filled with beauty and self-worth With the intensity and beauty of a glowing golden sun, Glittering as it beams among the surface of the waters. The lustrous one, better known as my daydreams The lovely one, better known as my pure naked self. Like two scorpions in a bottle, There was a fight between evil and good. The winner; the one the operator chooses to feed, The winner; a display of my blindness. Blindness, lacking the sense of sight; sightless. Blind to the naked beauty and worth of the lovely wolf, The starving wolf. Like two scorpions in a bottle, The two wolves continued to fight inside of me. The delightful became liquified into dark raw evil, Leaving me drowning, gasping Gasping the slightest bit of that air of self-worth. (C) Emily Mckusker 2016

This me, like two scorpions in a bottle
Mon aux deux tiers divine, Toute laine et marjolaine De douceur et délicatesse, Courrais-tu, bufflesse, les steppes Avec ton ombre d'argile A la recherche du plant de jouvence Semé aux Treize Cyclones Qui hantent les îles-fleurs du bout du monde ? A chaque cyclone aux ailes brisées Qu'offrirais-tu, Gilgamesh, mon ombre immortelle Dans le nigredo causal et a-causal où se fond l 'abîme ? ? Au Cyclone-gel, la baguette et le cerceau ? Au Cyclone-mauvais, le taureau céleste ? Au Cyclone-tempête, la Forêt de Cèdres ? Au Cyclone-rafales, le corps de la Joyeuse ? Au Cyclone-tourbillons, les hommes-scorpions ? Au Cyclone-du Nord, les cyprès ? Au Cyclone-poussières, les gazelles ? Au Cyclone-du Sud, les Enfers ? Au Cyclone-de l'Est, le Déluge ? Au Cyclone-de l 'Ouest, la nuit d'étoiles ? Au Cyclone-tornade, le sourire des hyènes ? Au Cyclone-mortifère, le feu éphémère ? Au Cyclone-souffleur, le feu éternel ?

Mon ombre immortelle
When you look me in the eyes Loneliness unfurls inside of me Like a scorpions tail And stings the soft belly of my heart. A deep pain Spreads throughout my body, Clutching my bones, Taking me hostage. I feel my heart swell. It’s much too big for its cage. It’s the bird screeching protests When you try to put it back in. The sweating begins almost immediately. I feel like I’m melting onto the dirt road And you, You are laughing. Your smile splitting your lips, Your teeth snapping like claws, Distracting me from your molten black eyes. I ***** my loneliness. It dribbles out of my mouth in red ropes. You are already scuttling away, Already moving onto the next threat. As I watch your eight legs Carry your shell of a body away From my shell of a body I remember why I’ve always been afraid of scorpions.

The Scorpion
Fifteen uniform clouds Roll across the prairie In a neat little line on the horizon Kicking up dust storms as they go Hurrying along Silently The settlers driving their wagons Keeping their lips tight And their eyes sharp Because there are Indians Lurking behind every rock Bandits and thieves Waiting in the hills Snakes Scorpions Buffalo Guns Disease Separation Heartache Might surprise them at any moment Might make them victims and this moment their last The settler’s hearts are racing At 120 beats per minute Pounding out a rhythm Unlike anything they’ve ever known Their hands are working at nothing In the thin dry air Twirling, twisting, pirouetting frantically Their jaws are clenching tightly Spasming, biting, drawing blood from their tongues Their eyes are wide, unblinking, terrified Seeing it all as it really is, Really should be And secretly, perhaps subconsciously, Unrealizing, They hope life will always feel this alive But then, In a few weeks When they’ve made it to the city To the town To the shelter and comfort of ease Civilization opens up her greedy maw Swallows them whole And licks her ****** fingers clean So as not to stain her tidy white frock And the settlers do nothing Complacently allowing themselves to be digested But they are thinking “This is what I wanted?” The voices in their heads have reached fever pitch, disgusted, screaming, “This is what I wanted??” And still they do nothing

The Settlers
the world is a machine built of scorpions and wolves, praying for sleep and soft lullabies. the wheels and knobs turn endlessly, recklessly howling at the stars for it's desirable solace, like ghosts stuck on earth preying on others for revenge for being sentient puppets tangled in the strings, thrashing in their thoughts, stuck in a everlasting cycle carrying around burdens like a courier through dense forests and vast wastelands, burning bridges and bibles and throwing gasoline upon the architectures built up and setting them on fire but i feel hands of fear at my ankles, pulling me into the restless ocean with a pulsating ache, wolves howl from the insides of my barren stomach and making them be quiet is difficult, if duct tape worked, it would help these knives for fingers cut through anything, but it can't cut through you - kra

how to get past dying, a novel
Arizona made me quiet. Arizona made me see. For every flower wilting there's the ghost path of a creek. Arizona made me cautious. Arizona made me choose. Do I prefer a coy, dry heat or the temptation called monsoon? Arizona made me hard. Arizona made me fast. The sun is not my friend, he lives to laugh behind my back. The red clay dirt sticks to me in the luxury of white sheets and now I know if I move a rock scorpions breed underneath

Scorpion.
I staggered through the desert, dressed in brown rags, ripped. I was surrounded by flies. They picked at my sweaty forehead, spoiled my food. I had in an old wicker basket two crisp apples, which are brown now, thanks to those flies. My feet are dry, cracked and ****** not from flies— from hot scorpions. They hide under sand and pick at my feet. One day I left my house n’went for a walk; kicked open my front door         walked over the old stone bridge over water bright and blue, for         miles and miles, on footpaths by little rivers, through mossy forests, knee-deep in marshes, hiking over rocky, cold mountains, stammering across the plains. I saw the desert: punched me in the gut. Beautiful, I thought— immortal. A great tornado of sand came whisking from the dunes. I checked my watch: The glass was shattered. The hands were bent crooked. I unstrapped my watch and threw it on the edge of the desert and I sprinted toward the endless tan horizon, kicked off my rotten shoes         to feel the hot sand between my toes and ran. I fell and fell asleep. I was bored in my old, old house. The floor was always swept to shine, my bookcase: big, glossy, oak monstrosity. And no, I did not have a wife, or children. I lived in a sunny village, paved with stone. By the fountain, birds sang, merchants sold felt and mallets. I’m too tired for explanations. And besides, there is no trick, I left to leave, to run and jump and roll and howl. I knew it would end, like this or something similar. I decided to just lie down, and the vultures came like a great black cloud to circle, and the heat, the headache, my body buzzed cooled a dizzy, breaking feeling came and body was freed         like ice smashing to shards . . . on desert floor, old rags drenched         in sweat-body. I open my eyes wide. I keep them open. Tears come to my eyes. I let the sun blind me. I turn over on my side and close my eyes, see red. My eyelids are hot. The vultures caw and shriek like squealing pigs. I’m dizzy and my head feels thick. The vultures will eat me, rip my skin with beaks, and the flies will buzz around me until I’m bones, but I came here just to come here, and I lied here just to lie, and I lived just to live, so then I’ll die now just to die.

She said she'd pinprick your watershed Leave alone , it must be bled A cold and somewhat silent shiver went through you She tossed your hair with fingers flared Before she rapes your lips she says she cares And cautions ,"I am no where near through with you ." She rips your shirt , rakes your skin Over and over again Till blood trickles down upon you She licks you dry And praises the sky saying, "God is jealous of you guy ." Then she sits upon your lap Knocking off your tip top hat And throws a ****** to you The first and third lines rhyme She takes away your time Makes you scream in agony and ecstacy All of mercy . , . More on mercy . , . Tasting pain  . . .coated in pleasure The memory lingers Burning like a scorpions stinger And now your mallingered aren't you The second and fourth are lines of choice Developed rhythm for the course And you grade your decisions running through you She left you dead , hurt your head And then she fled Tossing your heart into the river Your grateful that you live but still you go on and grieve Or at least wished you did As you are trying to relate All you do is quake And start to uttering "All on mercy . . . More on mercy . . . Have mercy  . . .on me ."

Deadliest Bite (senryu/haiku)
Topping a rise comes a knight, armour soiled and stained; weary yet elated riding his black steed. The Princess in her tower sees and gives a delighted cry. She leans out her window and hails the knight: "Ho!Brave knight! Whence comest thou? Tell me thou seeketh me for I wait for thee." "Truly",answered the knight "It is for thee I am come my fair lady and to take thine hand." "I've sailed the seven seas, toiled through forests and mires, traversed deserts and dunes looking for thee". "Oh the joy!"whispered the lady and cried,"My brave knight, glad am I to hear thee but Didst thou slay the dragon?" Answered the knight, "My dearest lady, I have fought the giants, conquered the orcs and tamed the lions." "Oh brave art thou my worthy knight. But didst thou slay the mighty dragon?" "I have escaped from dungeons, caverns with unnamed fears. Scorpions and serpents I have crushed to the earth." "Wonderful art thou my worthy knight. But didst thou slay the fearsome dragon?" "I have ridden the behemoth, subdued the depths, searched the clouds and fiddled with thunderbolts" "Magnificent art thou my worthy knight. But didst thou slay the red dragon?" "Lady,you are besot with the dumb worm!",he said. "I wonder if she",he thought "has been crazed in that tower" Sighing forlornly, said the princess "I canst not leave here till the dragon is dead." As the knight turned away to ride back,she asked "Whither goest thou? To slay the beast?" "Nay lady,nay I go to slay the dunce who wrote you into that tower." "What meanest thou my dear knight?! There is another knight who dabbles in magic?!" "Nay lady,nay. He is not a knight. He uses his quill to weave his musings." Cried the princess "Oh mighty sir, Oh Weaver with the quill! Canst thou hear me?" "Yes dear lady,"said I, "What do you desire? What can I do that will please you?" "My dearest Sir! Oh my bravest hope. Slay the dragon and make me thine." "But my lady as much as I desire to, you should know there is No dragon in the story" (Silence pervades) "Oh my dear knight!!" cried the lady to the rider, "Slay this goon and we shall be one." Uh-oh...Time to put down the pen and run.
