Scissor Sharpener
The scissor sharpener in the
kitchen drinks blood plasma and
medieval words.
CUTE WENDS SCISSOR HANDS
It’s lock down in Jozi, a state of emergency
As you know,
Wends my hair dresser sent me a what’s app,
Haven’t seen her for Three weeks or so,
She’s bored, so started to cut her front and back
Lawn with her scissors,
As for now has no customers, so does not use
Her salon’s mirrors!
The scissor-
Twins like cup and saucer
Eyed,but no vission
Waiting for commands like a soldier
Tells,"single hand can't clap, come together"
Cuts like politicians
Wounds won't bleed
A house hold like a wife
A surgical scissor cuts
To heal a man out of sorts
The surgeon operates the malignance
To remove the cancer of belligerence
Need to do something constructive so I don't fall to my doom.
Rock, paper, scissor (before I go a howlin' at the moon)
Rock for the times when life's really on a roll
Emotion into rhythm, stabbing, bleeding from a soul
Paper holding the weight of what I'm throwing out from my pen
I carry words around until they escape from me again
Scissor sharp skills can cut the f#ck out of a rug
But life's not a dance unless addicted like a drug.

===========================
raven, lush, sleek skein
three-inched lengthy mane
spawned fluke - halcyon shimmer
in months sweet relish
crave to embellish
vanished bubbles - I wither.
gripping the scissor
I am in dither
LOVE gave me the axe - slayed me
chose to cut this crown
to erase this frown
"NEW ME" nestling ... no glee.
