Oct 2020
my tongue crawls back to the gap
where my tooth fell out;
passing by the rigid brace
permanently fixed to the back
of my incisors.
tracing stuffed bedrows
stained by Lagans of tea,
skipping the entrance,
afraid of the sea
change that takes place -
when you linger too long,
or the sharp, shooting pain
when probing goes wrong.
i avoided the dentist
(with her microscope stare)
and chose to dress it
with other (important) affairs.

my best friend got me drunk and tried to **** me... he made me feel so small and scared. i can still taste his tongue inside me, and feel his stubble scratching my face. i don't revisit that night very often because it's two years later and i still would rather ignore it ahah
