your smile chastens
with its bite. I keep
my fingers knotted
in my fists like
the closed church
with the people
wriggling within
so you won’t
catch a tip
between your
pointed teeth.

Shark teeth gleam too; your smile chastens with its bite. I keep my fingers knotted in my fists like the closed church with the people wriggling within so you won’t catch a tip between your pointed teeth. |
