At first I was queasy; I'll never forget the sound of the scalpel cutting a body open. But it was so cool trying to work out how these people died.

Walking Toeless

Stone by stone you kill me.
Petal by petal I die -


holding a scalpel
to unwrite my name.

Violence
erupts among words.
A temple breaks.
O goddess! don't cry beyond silence.

The infant's milk
spills in darkness.
Antiquity raises a wall
around the mother.

I am vanishing now,
freezing my assets.

Snappy Cute Newt after Happy the Man John Dryden

Snappy cute newt whose root canal intact
remains, from stains free, scalpel unattacked,
acute beaut who scoots secure, defies man's tries to slay,
Today may play 'Tomorrow come what may! '
Be fair or foul or rain or shine
whose kith or kin nor pith nor pin may pine
upon unheavenly slide to lie supine,
resourceful waits his hour till man's devoured, sauce sweet and sour.

Some Questions In My Mind...

how does my silence
blend well
with the sounds of the cars
outside my hotel
window?

how can my prayer
co-exist with the heavy rain
tonight?

how can i be so helpless
despite these strong arms
these legs
this mind that probes like
a scalpel
to a restless tumor
in the brain?

how can i be so timid
against the rage of the other people's storms?

Heaven ā€“ Crocodile Haven

Diving into the swimming pool
feeling as if
the back of my head
is cut away with a scalpel
intense cold like an electric fire
burning my face and my feet
the invigorating feel is wonderful
swimming to and fro
shiny diamond and crystal drops
spraying in the brilliant sun
this is heaven ā€“ crocodile haven
when I get out
Iā€™m too frozen to walk about
soak in a warm bath for an hour
crocodilean paradise - this is what
crocodiles are born for!

Emotional Surgery

Choices cut, but like scalpel
Are needed to bring healing
To make the blinded person well
And clarify his thinking.

For Love like cataracts gray
Truth to make them white,
For 'Love is blind' they all say
And lovers lose their sight.

Not able then to see control
And sheer manipulations,
Repeatedly they make the fall
To masquerading passions.

With pain, this cut I must make
In deep emotional surgery-
Pretentious 'love' I must forsake
And from you I must be free.
