I know it's been a while since I've updated you on my experiment. Well the reasons are:
1. I haven't been consistent because honestly I got tired of smelling vinegar.
2. I ran out of Bandaids.
3. I truly believe I have a supermole on my hands. I swear it's impervious to bullets, speeding trains and can probably leap over tall buildings in a single bound. Seriously!
But all is not lost! I can say that I have seen progress. My mole has flattened somewhat, albeit slightly slanted but flattened nonetheless! This weekend I will arm myself with fresh supplies and I will continue my ongoing saga of 'Allene vs Supermole'! Fear not! I will succeed!

Broken Bones
With broken bones
--
I stand
Limp, ragged
Body
Coursing with pain
Needles and pins
Knives and swords
Protruding
From the cracked shell
Of my form
I stagger
Crooked steps
One more painful
Than the other
Where do I go?
To hide and mend
To crawl and cower
To cry and lament
To heal and recover?
I stand
I stagger
Towards the setting sun
Limp and ragged
Taking crooked
And broken steps
One more painful
Than the other.

The Scourge (Poets of G+ Prompt of the Week - Molotov Cocktail)
***Last night I made changes to this piece because I was so not happy with it. I can't make the change on G+ because it would disqualify me but I'm making the change here. The rhythm was off and it was driving me crazy. I think now the rhythm is better and the ending doesn't seem as chopped off as before. I hope you agree.***
The Scourge
The dark
scourge's heart thumps
In a dark
recess of my town
Da dump
da dump
Its roots
buried deep
Opaque
tentacles slithers silently
From
street to street
Searching,
searching
Skulking,
sneaking
Always
creeping
For its
next prey
It is
ravenous
I can
sense its hunger
The
stomach cavernous
It howls
in desperation
It hasn't
fed in months
Forced in
isolation
Its prey
has evolved
Smarter,
quicker
More
resolved
Out of
reach
From its
inviting talons
Talons,
poison-tipped each
Fear
oozes
From its
pores
For death
will soon be
Knocking
down its door
I walk
through the silent street
I know
where the heart lays
I've
heard it beat
Thumping,
humping
Seducing,
inviting
In my
left hand
My weapon
of choice
I will
take my stand
A bottle
of premium burns the best
I always
say
In my
right, my street chrome zippo
To help
light my way
My fuel
soaked rag, lit
I stare
at my target
The time
has come to end it!
To burn,
burn, burn it!
Flames
lick at my skin
As I
ready my stance
My pitch
is true
The blaze
dance
It meets
its mark
The thing
screeches and shrieks
While I
watch in the dark
Its death
is final
We can
now and forever breathe
And ease
our vigil
But I
stand alert
You never
know
What is
buried
Deep down
in the dirt.

I Dance Through The Green
The prompt for the week in the Google+ community I'm in (Poets of G+) was this picture. These are the words that came to mind. Not quite happy with it but that is life.

Analog Tears
I ran towards the jingle jangle
Small thin fingers
Grasped the handle
Whispers, whispers, whispers
Of fears
Dancing in the air
My heart pounding in my ears
No sound from trembling lips
Only through analog tears.

Mole Removal Experiment - Apple Cider Vinegar - Part 2
Day 12: Today is Thursday, February 28, 2013. Well, when I woke up this morning the blackened area had spread just a tiny bit north and my mole now feels rough on most of the surface, I'd say about 80%. I scraped the mole a little more aggressively than my usual MO, even scraped some of the scab off, and applied the ACV once again. I am so used to the stinging tingle now that I am no longer fazed by it. I was only able to leave it on for about 30-45 minutes because the bandaid I used started to slide off. I'm pretty sure it got some vaseline on the tape portion. After removing the ACV bandage, I was surprised to find my mole looks even bigger than before and it has frosted white all over. After a few minutes some of the white diminished and the black scab started to peek through. I think my mole is dying. I am feeling positive and upbeat because I'm seeing the expected cause and effect. My niece's birthday dinner party is on Saturday. I really hope my mole doesn't look too terrible. I wonder if concealer will cover it.
Day 13: Today is Friday, March 1, 2013. I just applied another ACV bandage on my mole and sitting here staring at myself 13 days into this little venture of mine and I'm starting to have my doubts about if I am making a HUGE mistake. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. I just shook off my negative thoughts. Positive reinforcement! I'm going to do this! I'm just so tired...of smelling like vinegar. Grrrr... There are people that I've read about online where their moles turned black and fell off within 5 days!!! Why couldn't have that happened to me? I know why...because I'm scared to poke holes in my mole with a needle! I'm really hoping that my mole is shallow and not rooted too deeply below the first few layers of my skin. Although I wouldn't care if after the mole falls off and I'm left with a small crater where the mole used to be. Better that than the raised mole that becomes irritated whenever I blow my nose a couple of times.
Day 16: Today is Monday, March 4, 2013. Oh my gosh! This morning while I was getting ready for work the blackened area that had scabbed, fell off when I blew my nose. (Allergy attack all day) Something is happening! I'm feeling upbeat and positive again. :)
