Desolate Abby

hmph, a fairly inspired writing, but i wont tell what inspired it because its a weird(ish) one. either way here it is.

The Fence

Staring across the putrid earth, A fence of swords crossing my path, Sights of joy reach around my brain; Pitted, twisted and wounded mind. Thrusting myself on sharpened fence, The blades cut deep into my chest,

Thoughts and Doubts

I've been to war and seen the death But now I'm rocking in a chair. Of course, it is a kind of bless But still I don't believe it's fair.

Greetings Provensen Clan!, I'm writing you from ______ in Southern Thailand where I've been teaching at the university for about a month now. It's been a curious experience. I've met many interesting people ranging from kind and semi-learned professors to my student Bo, a model and a nice girl, to ___, a local thug but a salt-of-the-earth fellow in many ways.

Hi, I'm writing this letter to a few people. I've been in Thailand almost 4 weeks now and things are okay. The weather is beautiful, if a little hot, and everywhere there are beautiful flowers, colorful butterflies, and also dragonflies. It's quite surprising how far the dollar goes here; a platter of seafood costs 40 baht unless you go to Wahin, a nearby city, and there it costs 100 baht.

Needle

I feel the prick From that clear plastic syringe The metal tip was inserted just behind my ear in that soft patch between my jaw and my skull I lie complacent, Because this is a serum of green liquid envy

A new void

Void existence Blank slate All these things are a black hope I keep it close and hold it dear Because to take form Means to lose imaginations fluidity

red hazey reality

The drop falls skybound from the earth The moon shines from within The sun is cold and dark And space is a small warm blanket This is all true when romance reinvents itself

I lost my words

I lost my words... but I had them here one minute ago, I had to tell you things that you know i had to tell you, things that i had to tell you, maybe i only lost my lies, they hid well, maybe though simply they weren`t mine, believe me, unite your heart and then believe in it, really.

Cheffing

Her non-stick skin, her nipples glowing like Tefal spots, her al dente hair, her rolling pin forearms, her mortar armpits, talcum floured, her wonderful steamer, the Aga of her belly, the George Foreman of her belly, the curry-house candle-lit hot-plate of her belly,

Just for fun

Somewhere between Darjeeling and Calcutta is a place called Sevoke Bridge.It is certainly what it purports to be-a mere bridge.It is early winter now and a Scorpio is making its way over the bridge.The Scorpio is actually a grand-looking SUV.This particular car has five people sitting in it.As the Scorpio is about to descend into the freeway the driver spots a girl.The girl is wearing expensive clothes and is trying to secure a ride on the car.Half out of pity and half out of a very ancient instinct the driver stops the car.The girl explains that she lives in Darjeeling and is trying to get some medicines for her ailing father from nearby Tenzing Stand.The passengers who have all paid the driver individually for the ride are happy to accomodate a very pretty girl.The girl tries to make small talk.Suddenly she produces a revolver and asks her co-passengers to hand over their belongings.The passengers,who are all men,offer little resistance.One of them stays with her after he introduces himself as her husband.After the others are offloaded at Tenzing Stand the girl tells the lanky boy,"You drive!".It is apparent that the girl doesn't know how to steer an automobile.As the vehicle speeds off towards Calcutta the two passengers introduce themselves to each other.The boy is called Bunty and the pretty girl is Bubbles.Both have set out from Darjeeling with the aim of becoming filmstars in distant Bombay.

"Ride The Donkey" - Chapter 2

Yanks, (Americans) consisted of several different groups: There were the larger-than-life, loudmouthed caricatures of an officer; they usually had big bellies, bulging out from above low-slung army belts sporting a handgun. A few of these guns were service issue; many were ostentatious Wild West revolvers, or such. A half-chewed cigar usually hung dribbling slaver from podgy lips. They must have seen themselves as the epitome of John Wayne, or Errol Flynn. Sad really, as although on films, those two won every war single-handed, in fact, I got the impression that those two managed to avoid any contact with military service ' unlike other film stars who served willingly and with distinction. Those Yank officers were all mouth and trousers to me. If they had a superiority of ten to one in battle, they were heroes. Any less odds than this, and they would retire to a safer Headquarters, and scream for the Air Force, or Navy, to bail them out. These officers would have been more useful to us if they had been in charge of the enemy...

"TICIANITA ARABELLA WOBBLES - ARLOTT" - Chapter 2

.... It seemed just moments before ' with a loud wailing of sirens ' two large fire engines appeared outside the school gymnasium. Suddenly there were firemen with hosepipes and ladders EVERYWHERE. Well, the next hour was the most embarrassing one the Convent and Nuns had ever experienced. You can just imagine the fun the firemen had getting the struggling Sister Teresa down, as she tried to hide her red bloomers. Once they even threatened to use a hosepipe to wash her off the ceiling. Sister Teresa screamed in panic at the thought....

Departure

"Terribly sorry. I said "I wasn't expecting you to stop - yet again. At this her head snapped round like some mechanical contraption on a stick and she turned to glare at me. Her hair was dyed black, and very badly at that - I could see the grey roots ' and her skin was sallow, pale and white. She was obviously a heavy smoker as she wore a matt magenta lipstick, that already at this early juncture of the day was beginning to seep into the cracks around her lips and mouth. That said it was difficult to guess her age; she had a child-like aspect to her face but could have been any age from forty to late sixties. She fixed me with beady little bloodshot eyes and spoke, or rather hissed, in a haughty, clipped voice: "Well watch where you're going in future! My little kick had done the trick though, for she let me pass and I continued on my way.
