#gums
How long did it take
To scrub the taste of you
Off of my mouth?
My gums were bleeding by the end
My bed was a mess
Sheets torn, this way and that
A futile attempt
To make them reek
Of anything other than you

gums gums oh they go
where go where run
I don't know about everything either
and all step and all run
where I run and again
gums gums oh they go
day after day like water
both in paint and turning
I don't know about everything either
what do I know about what I do
what about me to be after all
gums gums oh they go
where are we all going where we are
where are we going step
I don't know about everything either
but listen to me listen
I exist and everything is ahead
gums gums oh they go
I don't know about everything either

how by chewing wildflowers
til your tongue turns numb because
you're enamoured by the way it sounds
when you slur your words.
your gums turn black and
when you smile all i see is
pips and petals stuck between your teeth.
oh you're so pretty.
you're a real loose cannon, tendrils
tethered to every orifice and
every breath smells a little more
like the grim reaper is sleeping
in your mouth. i can see he's
making quick work of your gums.
but it works.
better that than he move into your chest
or burrow any further
in your head.
