GHOST OF MY TOOTH
From bone to blood to grave.
The tongues of women in countless waves,
Ripped from socket, torn from safe
Inside.
Survivor of fights & broken pieces, words
Pronounced and apologies given,
Pliers
Ripped from socket, torn from safe
Inside.
Pain is passing, mortality as well.
I intern you to a place
Upon my shelf.
TOOTH
R.I.P
