fighting venomous bile

as dawn uncoils

drags the bodies breathing still

under rock

black teeth poison

sleeps with a flicker

 

technicolor feed in the colloid static

 

i am so slowly

pushed

into the grey, green sea that swallows

 

i nake with unicorns

and float

on white horse everything

the shape bears crude teeth

gulps mad apples out of nowhere

 

obsessing

i am a pine cone

i don’t want october to end

the message

trembles with teeth

 

onto the concrete

speak until there is no

answer

 

crack my teeth on the

sidewalk that leads to the university

still enrolling in courses of panic

 

remember birds flew from my mouth
