Long Slice up Poems

Why can I not write?
I am overwhelmed	
By the minutiae of everyday life!
Dawn comes, and I awake, but no!
I pull the covers over my head
And close my eyes tightly
Against the coming day.
I am not ready yet!
When...

STILL KICKING
I've got this smile on my face,
tears rolling down my check, but I ant apologetic about it, 
not bluffing though I hear buzzing sounds, being very busy I remain unhinge,
can't be knock off balance...

Stuck inside of a nightmare
lookin' like I might just slight tear
myself from the light there right
barely a knife couldn't share me a slice of the right hare
even if I slice up the bright hair
this rave...

I start off being optimistic
With my big saucepan
Only as a last resort will I ever
Eat  soup from a can.
I assemble all the ingredients
From a list I’ve not written down
Caremelise the onions.
Until they’re nice and...

If only I could be ElaineScisorsHands, 
under tonight's half moon;
on the precise sec past midnight
I'd creep into deep shadows
and slice evil in two.
SLASH! SLASH!
Black cats and black rats and
even blindass black bats, 
would go cross-eyed...

Trilogy 1) Alice and Vincent
           2) The Mask

Can’t go back
Slithering...

comes best from those who consider themselves
two-bit, ****ed up, failures,
but still churn on doing what they do
as if after those last final breaths,
somewhere along the line,
like those who lost ears or who simply died nameless

It’s your birthday? Forget the cake and cheers.  
Let’s slice up a piece of life and dive into the tease.  
No fancy decor can match the warmth we bring,  
Just us, sharing secrets like agents...

Sandwich


Chop up the onion
Slice up the bread
Bring out the salmon
Bright pinkly dead


Wafer the cumber
Juicy and green
Ensure the blade is
Sharpened and keen

Scrape on the butter
Mayonnaise and dill
Cap with brown wholegrain
Fresh from the mill


Wrap it in poly
Heat...

I gave in again
After holding back so long
Retreating to my old habits
Carving messages on my arm

It's hard to admit now
Because I have such a good life
Yet I've lacked the urge to feel
 Like a black...

Start with a red onion and dice it all up.
Then slice up some mushrooms (no more than a cup).

Saute in some oil in a cast iron pan;
it quickly will soften in a few minutes span.

The curtains part ever so slowly this morning 
fingering the light of a beckoning sky 
church bells have yet to be pulled for the ring 
as children stomp out of bed with a sigh

I’ve been hit with a mack truck,
or maybe i’ve just been punched in the gut;
Being brave is a recipe for pain;
Better to slice up your thoughts, 
may keep you relatively sane. 

I’ve been sent to...

My paper cut is infected 
Cause it was neglected 
Bandaids won’t solve the issue 
Some alcohol on a tissue 
Slice up all my fingers 
Cut my arms 
Tear my veins 
Rip my heart 
Why are...
