"tonsils" poems
A newborn to a novice Mom, such a burden all at once, so much to do, the day is gone too soon – a crying bundle makes the night so long But it is such a joy! The changes in life are so unreal, schedules can never be the same, but soon a balance will appear, life will be normal once again, Almost! As years fly by, the bundle grows, the diapers gone now, outgrown clothes, tonsils out, braces in, “why can’t I go” a familiar sound! And all too soon that little bundle of joy is ready to face the world. We hope that we have done a good job, and we try not to hold them too tight to us, we must let go! The time has come to let them fly, that tiny hand that clung to you has grown and holds another now. Don’t cry Mom, don’t be sad, it’s all been worth it, and maybe soon, another small bundle will enter your life, and ah, who is the novice now??

The Novice
One is seemingly more impressed by the less endowed or blessed when somewhat incapacitated and borderline inebriated; the monstrous unconscious disregards the likelihood of fathomless undergarments in other dubious departments. Disregard the random blotches or the involuntary discharges instead revel in model tonsils and almond shaped parcels the comets of multi-notches like a strange attraction for disheveled carpets. The blossoms of toxins a libation ensemble almost near horizontal each movement a bent nozzle like a prehistoric Narwhal dancing like a jackhammer with the elegance of a cement mixer a broken leaking fissure seeping vapid glamour and indecipherable grammar. The paraphrased clichés and communiques of praise like lost prophets put on display caught in the ricochet of overplay making an exit with the grace of a stumbling ballet down a poorly-lit nightclub passageway. Ultimately this can only lead to the face-plant moment-of-tomorrow the flooded memory of the-night-before feeling utterly spent hungover and hollow with ill conceived consent. The: Oh. My. God! The: ***** is still here, what do I say? Hoping inexorably they would just get up and silently fade away. Beer Goggles: remember to drink sensibly, or run the risk of nasty STD's or unwanted pregnancy or breathless infidelity or reckless insincerity or if you're really lucky, just another session in therapy.

Here are my eyes my fried eggs teal lily-pads floating on white albumen. Here are my elbows like deformed peaches my knuckles the peas wrist corn on the cob. Here are my teeth my frosty Stonehenge a ring of slabs solid halibut. Here are my ankles four gobstoppers cracking as rocks under her size-five feet. Here is my nose fastened to my face the garbage chute meets hoover hybrid. Here are my knees two wrinkled potatoes mashing in their sockets as waves crumble on me. Here is my hair my straw candyfloss unlike her buttered popcorn curly-wurly waterfall. Here are my tonsils squashy strawberries wedged at the back of the cave I once made. Here are my lips azalea-pink sweets flecked with salt from our slice of sea.

Anatomy
Through lines attach themselves to me I'm a zip line zipping through the canopy. Zip lines through lines My life in dots and dashes. There was that darkness before I was born don't remember much about that. Parents were through lines for a long while then they died grandparents before they all had their time through lines zip lines strings the true string theory. Homesickness, school, bullies, too the Sunday Night Blues riding those zip lines through lines what are you gonna do they aren't leaving you. ************ Resignation private fantasies too private to tell through lines too on  the old zip line. The voices in your mind that's been a through line through and through. Poverty that was true too that's what happens when you peak too soon and you're a late bloomer too. Children, the through lines children of children and you too through lines zipping through along the old zip line. Poetry, a through line sharing secrets sacred circles those are through lines too. Body parts hearts, limbs, lungs, guts and toes though those tonsils had to go. Every breath Every heart beat. My through lines your through lines we all got'em parallel points on parallel lines I can't say I know we sometimes together zip along that same highway then one will fade and one will go away. But where we all meet each day, I can say, in the molecules of every breath we take.

Casper The Homosexual Friendly Ghost
This country was founded on the idea of being who you are in liberty, yet there are people stuck in closets because the monsters are on the other side and the darkness has become too comforting at this point. The face of death has become too beautiful to want to turn away. We are hidden, dancing around the idea of being hung as perfectly as that shirt that was “too gay”. We are wondering how to propose to the Grim Reaper because at this point, he is the only man who can “make us straight”, at least in my case. Others would give him a blow in exchange for their soul. The asexuals, though, are finding the words to ask death out on a coffee date. We’re all just thinking and wishing. We’re rolling out our blueprints and studying the structure of surviving instead of accepting that we’re different and actually living. The pride that used to live in us died a long time ago. Maybe around the same time we were in the closets writing our suicide notes. For me it was the day my mother said the idea of me having lesbian friends gave her headaches. Let me not even get into how high her blood pressure would rise if I told her she had a pansexual daughter. “Had”. Now I am but a corpse living among the resurrected by Christ and I constantly ask myself when God is going to baptize me. I ask myself when I am going to stop looking like a zombie from the Walking Dead because, ******* it, I never learned the script or signed up for any of this. I never even wanted to be an actress. I wanted to be a singer. I wanted to sing the songs of my love for her and let the paparazzi spread rumors of how I cheated because I’m that ******* hot. Mother, I wanted to be a singer, but you ripped my tonsils out and told me to smile for the camera and look pretty. But mother, have you ever thought of something? What if she’s the only one I want to look pretty for?

Something special is dying here. I'm going against a pattern, and even though it ends in my misfortune, I can't stop. I won't stop. How do I draw blood from stones as a miracle whispered through the tonsils of demons? Simple. I am a monument. A testament of free will gone awry. I'm a mustache twirling antagonist; I made Christ weep, and bound his mother to the railroad tracks. I know, I know, that hero is going to save your day, and I'll be in chains or in a bottomless hole somewhere, but let me ask these victims, "What would the other monument be, if not for myself?"

ambassador folk hero
These charcoal dark shadows hang beneath eyes of carbon blue. Carrying the memories of sinister scenes, washed clean, but stained with the salt of regret. Shame. Mortification. The sorrows of living within the frame of some unseen stranger's lack of obligation- irreverent and unattending to the consequences of unrestrained pleasure. In the background, the slick black vapor slides back into illusion's nest, unfound. Within this restless cradle, ever-raging, silent battles fought. That daily dose which nearly burned and boiled and blotted them out. Never triumphant. A pawn in a profiteer's pyramid scheme. A beast in bloom, bound to eternal flowering. Poverty empowering the privileged hand. Our death, stretched far and wide still tortures and taunts and tears us from peace- day after day, week after week, and year after year. Trapped in a cage whose bars are not there. Whose locks have no key. We scream and cry til out voices break and our tonsils bleed, but no one on the other side can hear. We play our part for family and friends but deep down inside we know how this ends. We pretend to go on, but we know we are dead. We are victims of big pharma and our ribbon is red.

The Red Ribbon
There are days when my soul feels stretched out like a ribbon emotions            hang                   ing from a thread on the line, like laundry, for all to see, on pegs vulnerable            in storms letting wind caress and sometimes whip them          round in beaten time like a tempest They tend to get bruised, secretly battered internally as the surface of me smiles and marches on Vocal chords tightening as the larynx longs             in primal urge      to take out the words in one long       graceful arc              of purge On these days I need to sit in the cloudforms of my mind's eye       and let myself feel   what I cannot show:     the daily coldness gnawing     at my innards       blow by icy blow In these hours I must let the tears well up and run down              until the sting of salt penetrates the glacier let the significance of unspoken words rise up from the deep dermis layers into my throat, my tonsils up to the palate and tongue                out through my lips to the heavens, releasing the unsung          those words caught within the walls of my neck - they almost make me choke exhaust contamination from heavy, unseen smoke   It billows up and out and soon, like hard-worked magic this morse code is busted because I am sick of feeling tragic I command clear communication       to filter through the spasms of fog in drops of dew I command my words to be heard in tiny spikes of sun And all the while             in clear spirals,                       a prayer commences to                         be spun: for the harsh                and bitter be flushed out              in unabated, icy rush for my soul to rise up            for the cleansing in aching spirit blush for the painfulness of silence to be ground out upon the floor for the shadows of the violence to be obliterated to the        core

When she was seven, my grandmother suffered from fever and swollen glands. The doctors believed her tonsils were inflamed, that she needed surgery. Instead, she went to a curandera. The curandera divined that a jealous relative had cast a curse on her and, now, her language of kindness was bound to her throat, the unspoken swelling her glands. As a child my grandmother spoke to santitos with a voice like a chestnut: ruddy and warm, seeds dropping from her mouth. The santitos would take her words into themselves, her voice growing within them like grapevines. During the tonsillitis, when the words no longer fell like seeds from her lips, the santito's vineyards of accent and voice grew vapid, dry as a parched mouth. They went to her tongue and asked why silence imprisoned the words of the child, why lumps were present under her chin, why tears drew channels down her cheeks. I asked my grandmother how her tongue replied. After touching my cheek, she told me she had a dream that night: She was within her lungs and she rose like breath through the moist of her throat. She remembered her tonsils swinging before her like fleshy apples, then a hand taking them into a fist, harvesting their sound. She told me her throat opened in two spots like insect eyes and the names of her children came flying through her wounds like peacocks. Patting my thigh, she said, "That is why the name of your mother is Maria, because she is a prayer, a song of praise to the Holy Mother." She told me this, then showed me two scars on her throat—tiny scars, like two eyelids stitched closed. st - 20 mar 14

I am alive & just barely; my throat is closing off with hard, precious cancer eggs tucked safely where my tonsils are supposed to sit. my fingernails this lovely shade of purple, a deeply blueish tint influencing them almost indigo. They tattle, silently proclaim my complacent malnutrition. the moons of my manicure have sunk backwards, eve returns to dusk, my favorite time of day, where the quiet begins, the candle may be lit, & the eyes I always feel on me are at least shadowed from my vision. the coffee is so black pulsing through my shrunken veins that my tears are caffeinated. even when I don't hold a cigarette, I see the smoke under my breath. my hands & feet are always cold, my muscles tremble & I swoon when we try to stand strong together. there is turmoil constant static in the fissures of the grey matter. well? tell me! does it really matter? my bones ache my face breaks oh, this Exist Contemplate. my government has always been corrupt; the city walls are finally wearing, having borne the onslaught for decade & decade. oh, the Burn & Blister. I crawl to my coffin without your permission; Where are you, my Handsome Benediction?

Exist Contemplate
The chemo makes you tired at first, So you tend to sleep the day of treatment. But throughout the week, The radiation takes its toll. I watch it slowly unfurl inside of you. Your joints ache like there are embers between the bones, And your belly fills with hot, heavy lead, And your tonsils swell with fluid, And your ******* traitorous with tumors, are sore and bruised. This is a pain that eats at you: Your nerves, your patience, your kind words. You’re a ***** Vicious and unrepentant. It hurts. I become petty and spiteful, Convinced you are determined to make me suffer with you. You tell me that I don’t care about you anymore. And I ask you why you can’t appreciate the things I do for you more. But today, You showed me how your hair had lost most of its ***** curls, The follicles soft and preparing for departure, And you cried because your wig, while pretty, didn’t look like you. I can only hold your swollen hand And promise to draw your eyebrows for you.

Survivor Story
The urban legend going round the mummy club A woman On a tube Breastfeeding her baby, 5 months old, under her t shirt. Not **** out No feminist flags waving No brazen cocky smile. Just a hungry baby and a mother made by nature And some milk "Put em away Love", slurs an ugly man halfway down the carriage. The other passengers are divided. Some sink deeper into their headphones, under their broadsheets. The others are ready for revolution, sit up straighter and plan an attack phrase or a protective move. But this is what she's been waiting for since she so triumphantly became a successful, proud breastfeeder. With a wet plucking noise she pulls her baby from the ****** where he was so contentedly feeding, where his warm little head was halfway to milky coma dreamland. And she holds him aloft, her grip is confident and full. No one is afraid she will drop him, but he does not want to be there. And in the stark light of the carriage, arms and legs chilly and free in the air he begins to flail them about. His voice throws out mews to every window of the carriage, turning into scratchy shouts as his protest gets stronger. Until the baby, in a blue furry jumper, little bear ears for cute effect, is screaming. Red faced, and with tonsils and tongue vibrating in the storm of his voice. Arms and legs swimming frantically, looking for the bank of the river where warm mummy sits. And over the storm, mummy looks over at the swaying, squinting man and shouts, "WOULD YOU PREFER THIS?" In one movement she cradles the yelling blue cub, shushing and quietly speaking to him as only a mother can, offering her ****** to his mouth until his round fuzzy head is bobbing and his mouth quietly busy resuming his meal. "Or this? " She looks over at him. The man mutters to himself and looks away. At the next stop he gets off the train, tripping down the step onto the platform. The mother releases the challenge in one large breath. She looks up at the two young men sat in front of her. They are smiling, staring in awe. Choking and speechless one of them starts to applaud her. Clapping her and shaking his head, his mate joins in.

You say you're happy when she smiles It brightens up your life It brings you endless comfort It gives you sense of peace She says she'll bet a dime That if she ever grinned You'd back away in fear Or hate her just the same And when she doesn't plan on fierceness It comes easily Not too aggressive, no motivations, Simply living in the moment When you say to be happy, You mean anti-suicide You mean anti-guilt on your part You mean anti-blame And when they fall for it And praise life And smile You walk away It's a big smear-campaign They love it when you're down The light shines stronger on them that way It's a subconscious conscious thing- A means for the tonsils to get unhinged You say do what you wish The sun will shine in time You say this with serenity Though it never reached your vocabulary You say just be yourself The world will come to understand But you say it with conviction Cause you've never tried it yourself Face the truth- From the outside looking in It's a whole lot better being optimistic When your soul isn't on the line Face the truth- In walking the outcast path You're not embraced Only scorned Face the truth- One who is one Knows they can't stray, Even if they choose Face the truth- If you were me and I were you And you were in my shoes, Would you smile?

Smile (Self-Pity)
Our flesh makes words which are caught like peanut butter on the roofs of our mouths. Trapped by teeth until they can be freed. But they’re too alive for our unmoving lips and we’re choking on the verbs that won’t cease, the nouns that fight, and the adjectives that breathe and beat against our natural rhythms. We've got participles dangling from our tonsils. On our imperfect palates, they form sentences. Thoughts. Ideas that must be spoken. Shared. Heard. These words that form in the madness of our hearts and bubble in the heat of our cheeks aren't questions, suggestions or even statements. They are commands.

Our flesh makes words
How I love the smell of your ***** As you straddle my eager open mouth My tongue licks at your mighty **** As your canines brush my engorged **** How I love the taste of your throbbing **** O the feel of your spotty **** in my hands! How my tonsils risk a ****** good bruising! And lo! my ***** get stuck between your teeth! Then your ***** gushes down my hungry cake-hole And my salty ***** juices run down your fat chin - But the best bit so far, is if we skilfully manage To let fly two foetid mutual simultaneous farts. But now, folks, we get to the really good bit The bit which we have both been waiting for: Out come our joint warm streams of diarrheoa Drenching our excited faces in noisome filth.

Soixante-Neuf Avec Un Twist
i still think about you every ******* day. feet flat on the tile floor eyes locked with myself in the mirror foamy lips and the bristles of my tooth brush methodically scraping memories of you, residue of our relationship, white plaque off white teeth like it makes a ******* difference. i grind the back ones down each night in an attempt to forget you, i think. hopefully one day i'll wake up just gums. but now, as i gargle i can see the face you would make as i rubbed the head of my **** against the inside of your belly button trying to get it to come out the other side and sometimes i would press on your belly to see if i was close to breaking through and your eyes would disappear and you would open your mouth s  o      w  i  d  e i could see you still had your tonsils and i would go to kiss that gasping mouth of yours and you'd act like i wasn't there at all. so i spit that ghost into the sink and watch it linger there before it has a chance to spill down the pipes clogged with your hair and i think.. ...i'm gonna go ahead and take down all the mirrors in this apartment.. ...as i blink at my reflection.

la. (lalalalalalalalalalalalalala)
I want to see where nice words are used on young ladies. Damned Rome of rude-bred heights from the balcony of the city of dynamite. The villagers sacrifice their seven pounds of worry, and sleep like children in caves of textile reactors. Souls packed in coins and gasoline sin are sold hot at the bazaar on a University campus in America. What the **** do these lambs do in societal gardens? What the hell do pets know watching letters drizzle from the clouds? Parcel dreams scattered on foster children--I want to know where all our words for niceties went when we paid the women to be young. Devils make knees slick barbwire anacondas bless our country write a laugh--write a song--and we will all work it out We--used as a rapier to categorize the salt in vigorous blood flow--the bells, the bells of centuries worth of midnights. I--the edited cobble in roads that precipitation breaks in stride. Hearing the rambles of lucky men in the next room, but I know young ladies don't kiss and tell to friends they find effeminate, they rupture and explode. And laugh. And laugh. And laugh. And laugh with squeaky voices as true as poetry. Now they mumble till they are paid. But you--are no ********** just an empty glass with chunks of broken accents skipping deadlines in life, for new deadlines in life. Abstract puzzle pieces resemble therapy that burns the interrupted wick in--you. But as for--them--they--or others--delirium commercializes whispers aching the back of their tonsils till there is no relief, but coin to pay for more coin that will pay for more coin. Relief is in another language they refuse to learn because they are arrogant. Cats scowl at one in the morning for attention, nails anchored in carpet, the rest of us are tired by the week of spending. They want more, more, more--till the gates in your eyes open.
