.
He takes a knife
Bright shining Sheffield steel
A subtle knife
A scalpel
Gently, firmly
Along anaesthetised skin
He runs the blade
And cuts
Crimson globes
Flow
Swiftly
Swab
I watch
Fascinated, strangely
To see the
Incision
One millimetre
Then deeper
Skin opens
Reveals what lies below
It is mysterious
It doesn’t hurt
Steel on flesh
Squeaks
Three more cuts
Quick, deep, precise
One excision
Four stitches
I am in awe

*takes one look - faints*

ok Mimi that's enough of that
"Steel on flesh
Squeaks"
made me squirm from 2000 miles away...
I'd sooner not look... pills my dear pills or go the general but for dog's sake don't look!!!
the stitches are so much worse than the cut itself. Literally, and maybe also metaphorically.
I hate needles.
stitching yourself a la Rambo hurts less, tho it's probably best to look in that case
I'm with the Doc on this Mims; lots of chemical support
I am stichless....
you wusses! The curved needle is a piece of art in itself, let alone when it stitches so sweetly.
wusses in stitches no less, no pain no gain eh Mims?
nothing better than an orgasmic stitching with a silver curved needle
*comes to*
eh?
*sees file hovering over*
argh
*faints again*
still stitchless,
stitchless in Seattle.
Hopeless in Hopeman
is me
I could have gone for the obvious for this but I've gone for this.

Good poem this, Mimi. but such squeamish Pseuds....!
yes Mimi, forgot to mention in all the gory excitement that I like this poem too, it's incisive and sensual
Incisive, yes file. That's the [knife] point!
File,
cats are sensual, they have the ability to see in the dark and they can sense you all.
*jolted awake by Guitou's latest pun*
Yeah, Filou, that poem is literally dripping with, er... blood.
*faints again at the thought of it*
Offie, OFFIE
you'd better wake up quickly
Mimi's thinking of scalping and looking at your eyebrows while fingering her scalpel in the naked moonlight ... there may be trouble ahead, it's not a time for sleeping nor snoring softly
Offie, OFFIE...
*rrrrrzzzzzzzzzzzzz*
don't even try to wake up a marmot.
OFF...O never mind
here Mimi I'll pull the hairs to separate the skin from the tissue and we can call it the pun-ishment of Guitou and revenge for all those gutted fish
Hey - not my scalpel. And actually I thought I was pretty light on the blood. Only a few drops shed ... so far ...
i thought pun-ishment was done already earlier today,
c'est un double pun dit!
...or perhaps it was a double entendre or an echo; an ecce homo; behold Guitou: international man of mystery (at least it's not misery eh?)
no, I am just an all french american pun distributor, 1,2,3 three puns a day and then I store them in my pun tree cabinet.
you could mix them with fruit and make a pun-ch to share with Other pun-ters
i may pun-ch you for unfair competition,
filou, are you trying to punt me out of business?
if you pun-ch me I might pun-cture G,
I could never pun-t you out of business, I am only a poor man's Sancho Pun-za to your Pun Quixote!
Punaise, i am giving up i ran out of puns,
que punieta.
but I am only a pun-gent crocoduck to your esteemed Pun-chinello, yet aren't we all just Pun-ks in search of pun-ani! (sorry!)
*stirring - talking in his sleep*
zeph... grmmmm zeph, do something... make them stop.... grmmm
are you lonesome tonight?....
10.45pm I take my hat and go home.night all.
Sheena may have been a Pun-k rocker but Guitou is a Pun-jabi!
night G, sweet z's
No pun-ishment is too heinous for you lot! I'll have to have a think, whilst perusing my wardrobe to seek the correct garb. Initial thoughts: rubber, leather, sharkskin thigh-high boots. And some leopard-print in there somewhere!
mimi,
may we have a video clip or just a photo..
Not a chance Gui - I don't have the technology and even if I did, today has all been about writing.
MotoGP for GU - not that Seani will publish, but I've tried. F1 for Pseuds - Lord Ebren probably won't publish cos for the last few weeks it's only been me, and Cricket for Cricketwithballs, and it's my first submission so doubt that'll get aired.
A waste of time one might say, but writing is always fun. Having chunks cut out of flesh - not as much fun!
