ii.
exploring past lives, the animal i once was; the habits
i keep. losing my teeth and hiding them in small boxes or
losing my teeth and burying the bones in the backyard.
am i ever human? in my dreams my teeth crumble
to pieces. i spend time spitting it all out. i have spent
some lives chewing on rocks, and now my body falls
apart in its sleep. the body, a rock, and i spit it out; bury
it. wake up with bloody bits of teeth between my teeth,
pieces of meat, pieces of me, pieces of past lives i could
sit eating for days, or trying to hide. |
