tongue traces teeth
pushing
pushing
pushing
is it moving?
it's moving!
wiggle wiggle
oh my God it's
MOVING
reach up
fingers touch the tooth
anxious like a child
with their first
loose tooth
teeth
teeth
teeth
teeth
nightmares:
gaps and spaces
sinks full of
blood
and
TEETH
push them back in!
--fall out again--
push them back in!
--blood on your fingers--

is it moving?
it can't be moving!
if pushed too hard,
could that make them
fall out?
gums sore
from over flossing
gums not growing
from toothbrush
abrasions
teeth,
not quite
pearly white
holding tight
teeth
teeth
teeth
a real phobia of mine.
