A Poem about Teeth
thirty or more or LESS BESIDE her twin

ivory ebony silver-gold OR BRONZE and not there

A joy to see UNFURLED a FRIGHT to see laid bare

Sustaining, giving LIFE BY taking flesh

Chained in metal AND WORN by time and rest

Never tasting but ALWAYS CRASHING against her twin

andwithinthemallhidesascarletdevildrippingdeceit

Unless she is not PRESENT

bleached and STAINED BLEACHED then stained

stained after BLEACHING BLEACHED before staining

drinking in POISON MIND ever fading

it does not END BUT when the end

does come THEY ARE the last to die
