Scarlet Night ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By Patricia Kriegel My wife will die tonight. How dare she lock me from her daughter's room? I am the wolf. I have hunted my prey and keep them under my roof. Her daughter tells tales how her mother plans to leave. She will not leave by the door. I will put her to rest on the floor. She can not keep her daughter from me. I have tasted the fruit so sweet. She is like a cherry ready to fall from the tree. I will pick my cherry before she falls from life's adversities. I will pick my cherry and show her life's pleasures. I will give her treasures, if she ask for money. I will give my honey gold, if she ask for rubies. I will give her diamonds to wear upon her fingers. Her eyes are like diamonds from the sky. I will take her to be mine. I will give her wine and she will be mine. I will lay the finest of treasures at her feet and lick her feet. She will be mine. I will melt her mother down like hot wax. Her beauty will always be remembered. I will see her beauty through the eyes of her child. Her child will live on to please me, and to be mine. I will take this child while hot and mold her into shape. She will think her mother killed herself. I will make it look like my wife killed herself. Her death will not be on my mind. I will let my wife choose how she will die tonight, if she chooses by the blade. Her bloodstain would rest on the floor and door. There would be bloodstains all over the house, if she chooses by my hand. I would take by the hand, choking her until she's out of breath. There she would lie like a wounded pet out of breath. I could break her neck, but than they would no it was not suicide. Than my name would be stained. I would be remembered as the man that killed his wife. Than I would be locked in prison and never, taste the cherry of my life. My wife you will die tonight. Choose, how you shall die. You can either take these pills or I will break your neck. How will you die tonight? If you kill me, everyone will know that you took my life. Why my husband must, I die tonight. Do you choose my daughter who looks like me? Do you think that she will stay with you? She is yet young and doesn't know her mind. Everyone will find out that you chose my daughter over me. I curse the day that she was born. I curse they way I must die tonight. Oh God hear me tonight. Don't let me die this way. Let me die old in my grave, that I may live to have grandchildren one day. Let not the wolf kill me tonight that has trapped me under his roof. I am under his hoof. Let me escape the roof that falls. I fall down on my knees and pray that you take all poisons from me tonight. Let him not have my child. I pray you give this young prey a mind to run. Too, run with the wind to never be caught by the scavenger this way. If he take my child, he will kill me twice. When he tires of her she will die one night this way. Save my fawn oh God and let her run away. Save her from being prey. For the hungry wolf has tasted her blood, and he chooses her blood over mine. Cleanse my child oh God. Make her crimson as white as snow. Let my child be pure again. Let no harm come to her I pray. No one can save you my dear. Your God doesn't hear you. Why should he hear your prayers? Your body will be cold in two hours, and the dogs that you pet. They will run from you my pet. The dogs will never want to lie against you again. They will smell your stinky corpse and run wild and I will have the child. The perversion will take over this house. No more conversations will I have with you as far as what you will and won't do. The child will do everything I ask her to do. I have already started molding her. She likes money. She will do anything for money and I make a lot of money. I give her everything she needs. I will be the father she never had. No longer will locks be put on my doors. This is my house no locks are allowed on doors. I leave you alone to die behind this door with your pets.

HOLLY DAY
Because Missionaries Did It There
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Calamitous children reflect a society
we have forgotten. Our poor peons
are your breathing, hung dry
and your breathing, concentrate on more helpful things
than crazytalk and logic. She woke up one day and opened her mirror,
found the bewildered old friend she had lost
in her dreams. Skeletal fingers kissed back
from inside the glass and whispered,
"This time, you've gone too far."
Rebellious children reflect a society
we have abandoned. Our teats of missionary eyes
sweep over the burnt landscape of your body, listen
to your breathing, concentrate on more helpful things
like planned drive-bys to take away the pain,
an homage to an artificial limb,
the way your clothes mask and cover you
deformed flesh. Today,
I am a connoisseur, the left hand
of appreciation, awkward in my adoration. My fingers
rub the tedium and recovery from your face.
Those people are still in my house.
With the eyes of the devoured.
With my cat.
HOLLY DAY
This Must Be
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can talk better than my father. When he was a little boy, desire
walked on lean legs down the halls of his sleep, shadows of a mother
who couldn't stand a real miracle. The world
could snore, wrangle or tear the invention of baby booties to shreds
as far as she cared, a diamond big as a parfait breathlessly
running into rooms drunk, seeking some sort of escape from the infant
folded into the earth at her feet.
I have seen my father's dreams, twisted up into soft green blankets
my own mother left behind. My father, who said of any gambler, "Love
is both under and above the edge of a sword." He grew up quickly,
grew old quickly, haunted by ghost violinists watching with amused faces,
watching the end of something I heard the screams of my father, pulled
apart his
crumpled broken wings with cold fingers I saw
myself in his dead black eyes. He had written me out of his dreams.
HOLLY DAY
August 6, 1996
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
twenty miles past a home I never knew
a thousand miles away is a home I've never been
planning faces to wear when my parents arrive
to meet my eight-month-old son
and the father of my child
wondering if my father still has brown hair
or if it's gone all white and sea-urchin-stiff
if my mother looks matronly, like my own grandma does
or if she's still a punk rocker, thin woman,
rough edges
twenty miles ago I felt the old dreams all die
ahead is a promise
and a threat
of a new life.
MARC AWODEY
Reverie
~~~~~~~
Men barked nonsense on Lunar hills,
deaf to the music of our moon.
When her glassine sands were pressed,
to transmit clips of harlequin white;
conquest illuminated the dome of night.
To understand why her ungodly face
appears to mourn;
ask why we strolled the lunar hills,
and danced upon her virgin humps-
our follicles, and fragile toes
encased in air conditioned boots.
And when each burnt out nerve
is soothed
to see our silver mirror ebb and wax,
as spheres and hemispheres descend
to dream in undreamt volumes
deepened by a drum of tidal urge-
perhaps our sable voices
will return
so that we sing,
to sail like drunken Greeks
through timeless stars, and stir
the rainless latitudes that sweep
and span the Sea of Tranquility.
MARC AWODEY
A River
~~~~~~~
They scooped their watery beds
where a silver river wrinkled and rose
to raft the fry that failed,
over embryos, and last year's leaves.
I followed arcs of salmon,
reflecting sun, they spawned
on gravel gems;
costumed in false red jaws.
They scooped their watery beds
where a silver river wrinkled and rose
to raft the fry that failed,
over embryos, and last year's leaves.
MARC AWODEY
We Never Knew the Sea
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We knew a seemingly endless thread
of peppery beach and beach grass,
we watched an azure haze enfold horizon-
but we never knew the sea.
What we spoke of is sincerely lost
though could shoreline be refound
the sound of sounding lighthouse
would not acquiesce to variance
beyond an ashen, inevitable sound.
If hollowness could again disperse
all shade of ghost below
an empty western field-
sandpipers
would not conjure fewer risks,
frail rows of curling waves would break
in strains that do not murmur any less;
and yet your sound
would not resound a sea-
for we never knew the sea.
MARC AWODEY
Safety Glass
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Encapsulated;
turquoise 20mg.
slouched inside
a sweltering automobile
reactions
shut off one by one.
Workers
take out noontime meals
from foil bags
and bright brown bottles.
Dream they would dream
if time allowed
of god knows what
in this situation. Just so,
they sit in cars
head back, bent by vinyl
atmospheric conditions.
Lounging
in supermarket parking lots.
Procrustean rows of secret lives
are outlined by curves
of safety glass.
Let us, imitate
turtle eggs heaped beneath sand
and pray
that the strongest among us
will question nothing.
Be more concerned with feet
than footprints.
MARC AWODEY
The Old Men
~~~~~~~~~~~
Today i pulled out one of my teeth
just thinking
about the old men reading
their poems at my house
last night
all Glowing Pate bearded
exchanging memories
comparing prisons
personal Vancouvers
in images all
reeking
of
Merwin-
MARC AWODEY
Memphis
~~~~~~~
Underneath painted columns at Memphis
mystery rites were once performed
midst introits for Isis, Osiris
their son Horus,
and his brother Anubis.
Underneath Tyrian hashish plumes
draped in wreaths 'round midnight,
censers and cymbals bloom in lilac
majesty beyond our
Hubbel telescope.
Pomegranate seeds and cinnamon
spice the nadir of my demitasse-
as censers and cymbals bloom
lilac radiance,
frail bean stalks of Camel smoke
spiral into flowery flights
of aquamarine tin ceiling.
Fading beyond the Beal Street jail,
walking toward Jefferson Davis
Waterfront park,
another blasted tourist
with clammy hands blends
into the heat of Memphis.
Underneath painted columns
at Memphis, mystery rites
were once performed midst introits
for Isis, Osiris, their son Horus,
and his brother Anubis.
MOSHE BENARROCH
The Poem
~~~~~~~~
first there is a sound
a familiar and distant
sound
coming from the twelfth century
in Granada or Lucena
then
less than a
second
later
there is a rhythm
like a lonely drum
in a high mountain
played by the leaves and the branches
sometimes subtle
sometimes noisy and unbearable
then there are the words
a line or sometimes two
when written the
words start flowing
as if they were waiting for
the door to be opened
sometimes
it is just one poem
mostly
there are hundreds
waiting for me
to write them
no matter how hard
I tell them
there are not many
readers left
to read them
they all want to be written
screaming at me
convincing me
asking and begging
but I have to make the choice
which ones to write
which ones to leave.
MOSHE BENARROCH
Ask For That Love Again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The one we couldn't believe would happen
the love when we didn't know we were in love
the love when I couldn't write a love poem
so busy was I loving you,
now I have so much time to write you poems
but you don't ask for my love
you are in front of me but you are memories
and in your eyes it is not me I see
but the idea and the image you have made of me
and I say now if she only asked
for that love again
but there is no again there is no going back
our cells have been destroyed and remade so many times
we are not those two young crazy lovers
we are not who we are
and our cells have been given to other creatures
sitting between us as a sun
not letting us see each other
siting between us as a sea
not being able to see the other shore
now if you only asked
I would give you that love again
but you can't ask and that love
would not be the same
the look in your eyes the color of my eyes have changed
they are looking elsewhere for someone else
asking for that love again
that love that will make me forget my pride
my shipwrecked literary career my lack of readers
that love so much like malt whisky expensive and making forgive
without a hangover in the morning
please ask for that love again
ask for that same love
but you won't ask you are trying to forgive me
you are trying to appease me you are trying all the time
instead of asking of demanding
it is your it is my right to have that love again
if we had it once if we lost it if we know its taste
we have the right to that love again,
we can only blame ourselves, life and God.

The Hamass Terrorist
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
after Wysalva Czymborska "The Terrorist" and
dedicated to Asaf and
Meital and to all the victims who lost legs, lives and futures.
1.
In a few moments he will blow himself
he is young, he has no children
he has no wife, in a moment
nothing will be left of him.
No one will know who he was
he left home years ago
and disappeared
forever.
I am sitting very close
drinking an espresso
and smoking a cigarillo
my friend asks me to come with him
to the place of the bomb
I tell him I am tired
which is not true
and that I will wait for him.
he doesn't know and I don't know
that in a few minutes
the terrorist will explode
the hope for peace will explode
and that Meital's leg will explode
and her brother Asaf will go to heaven.
Meital's husband, a Doctor
will hear the bomb and run to help the wounded
not knowing that his wife and her brother are there.
I am savoring the espresso
It is a sunny day in Tel Aviv
and after this bomb
nothing will be the same again for months
people will be afraid to come back here
Dizengof street will be deserted.
No one can stop him now
it is too late
he will die for Allah
and for being young, virgin
and indoctrinated.
Even if I go there I can't stop him.
My friend disappears.
2.
Suddenly there is a boom
and then there is silence
15 seconds of silence
like the moment before God created the world
or it is like the silence before
being born
It is a screaming silence
that can cut the air,
then there are police cars
stopping the silence
first come the Peugeot 205
one, two, three,
fifteen of them,
then the ambulance comes
then people come from the place
they have to tell the story
they speak to everybody and to themselves
a mother doesn't know what happened to her daughter
people are making phone calls
with telephones and mobiles
very soon the whole system collapses
this is the center of Israel
Dizengof center in Purim
everybody is here or could be here.
I sit,
hear what happened
don't know what happened to my friend
(he reappeared 5 hours later)
I am left speechless
for half an hour
I stand
try to talk to the waitress
I can't make a sound
I go back to my seat
drink the water left.
This half hour
was the most
scary poem I ever wrote.
3.
I think of the whole day
then I am really afraid.
How I skipped the place of the bomb
a place where I always go or pass through
I took many side streets
and my friend didn't understand why
he just followed me
I wanted all the time to go back to Jerusalem
"Half hour in front of the sea
That's enough for me"
he said
but he wanted the coffee
"let's drink it here
in Sheinkin
and then go back"
but he insisted
he wanted to drink it in Frishman,
and so on for the whole day.
He has promised not to insist again
and just follow me.
4.
My religious friend said it is a sign
but a sign of what
of being right or being wrong.
What kind of smoky shadowy cloudy
world
is this
that when there is a sign
we can't decipher it.

Who are these rich people
these desperate people
Why do they do to look so ill
making others believe their money is better
Who are these sad people
expected to always look great
to never become old
to never be ill
to always be happy
in what kind of prisons
do these rich people live?

MOSHE BENARROCH
In a Few Thousand Years
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a few thousands years they'll say about us:
They had great poetry
but their technology was primitive
they used heavy materials for everything
They'll say:
They had great poetry
but their medical system was hell
they had to kill to save lives
they needed snakes to take care of people
and their medical system
was the very idea of a bad system
doing more harm than good
They had great poetry
but for some reason the most famous books
were written in a genre called novels
a strange way of complicating
simple stories
They had great poetry
but their world was a world of racism
they had black people and black poetry
gay poetry and minorities poetry
African Asian and western
and no one was equal to noone nowhere
They had great poetry
but they loved making wars
and constructing heavy weapons
and killing people and destroying cities
this was the most common sport of that time
They had great poetry
but their poets were mostly poor and unknown
They had great poetry
and anybody could write
they didn't need diplomas and studies
to do their craft
They had great poetry
but their poetry was useless
a few thousands years ago
they thought that only science
could help people until
it destroyed everything.
And at the end of the lecture
a young boy will say:
Maybe that's what's needed
to write good poetry...
Because we have no good
poetry today.

Mother Death
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here they come all colours your choice
here they come you can chose your death
we have viruses car accidents cancers aids
we have good marketed deaths we have rare death
how about old-fashioned death like tuberculosis
soon we will bring back the plague
while we find a new potent virus
that kill in a few hours
we are developing them in our laboratories
we have retro-death or sci-fi death
and you can now die in your bed
the hospitals are full
no matter how many we open
we have patients twice the beds.
this is not Mr. death anymore
this is mother-death.

Koan ~~~~ There was never a journey that did not end in death.
Come one, come all! Welcome to Newsgroup alt.centipede. Established
just for writers, poets, artists, and anyone who is creative. A
place for anyone to participate in, to share their poems, and
learn from all. A place to share *your* dreams, and philosophies.
Even a chance to be published in a magazine.
The original Centipede Network was created on May 16, 1993.
Created because there were no other networks dedicated to such
an audience, and with the help of Klaus Gerken, Centipede soon
started to grow, and become active on many world-wide Bulletin
Board Systems.
We consider Centipede to be a Public Network; however, its a
specialized network, dealing with any type of creative thinking.
Therefore, that makes us something quite exotic, since most nets
are very general and have various topics, not of interest to a
writer--which is where Centipede steps in! No more fuss. A writer
can now access, without phasing out any more conferences, since
the whole net pertains to the writer's interests. This means
that Centipede has all the active topics that any creative
user seeks. And if we don't, then one shall be created.
Feel free to drop by and take a look at newsgroup alt.centipede
