does any one know the poem "the kitchen shears speak" by christianne balk i have to write what the poem means and what its talkin about and what primary literary technique she used in this poem please i need help its so confussing but if your will to give it a try here is the poem
This division must end.
Again I'm forced to amputate
the chicken's limb; slit the joint,
clip the heart, snip wing from back,
strip fat from flesh, separate
everything from itself. I'm used,
thrown down by unknown hands,
by cowards who can't bear to do
the constant severing. Open and close!
Open and close. I work and never tell.
Though mostly made of mouth, I have no voice,
no legs. My arms are bent, immobile
pinions gripped by strangers. I fear
the grudge things must hold.
I slice rose from bush, skin from muscle,
head from carrot, root from lettuce,
tail from fish. I break the bone.
What if they join against me,
uncouple me, throw away one-half,
or hide my slashed eye? Or worse,
what if I never die? What I fear
most is being caught, then rusted rigid,
punished like a prehistoric
bird, fossilized, and changed
into a winged lizard, trapped while clawing
air, stuck in stone with open beak.

maybe its just her telling to tell the people that through life shes been torn apart shes been speechless and sometime she was there but nobody noticed her maybe shes trying to put her lifes pain in a poem saying sort of in a way that shes stuck ex.
the constant severing. Open and close!
Open and close. I work and never tell.
