Long Amputating Poems

Since industrialization there’s been agitation frustration palpitation trepidation vociferation
And unequivocal asseveration in favour of our planet’s welfare glorification and protection

Slaughter amongst the slag heaps
Bodies bowed over barb wire
Screeching, screaming
artillery arching above
soon to descend
amputating limbs
shattering skulls
blood and brains
splattering stains on
comrades too close

and Lancaster lads
battling like beasts within

Neither knowing fully well her plight,
Nor understanding her whereabouts,

Alone,
Such a familiar circumstance,
Throwing the voices in my head a bone,
With my "happy and lucky to be lonely" dance.

Anxious,
Every tap of the foot, every drip from the sink, every whisper in my ear,
An invitation to...

Falling softly
Caressing, kissing the thoughts
With crisp, clear liquid
Pools of hope, inspiring, lifting
Filled with kindness and grace
Gentle reflections
Light poured out in faith
Silent treasures, cherished
By the one who knows, is blessed
With the pure, rich whisper
A tear so...

May-May, you left the sparse land
So clean
Amputating even the shadow
Of your dry footstep
That once seduced
The interrupted door
I looked but never saw
The phoenix in your heart
For all I heard was quacking ducks

Clawing into myself,
digging, scraping, scratching a phantom itch.

…

Amputating feelings, thoughts, emotions,

love,

always excising love,
