Mouth
Christopher Hivner
your words dont deflate me because
I can see them for the worms they are
squirming through holes in your teeth
and the waste they leave behind stays
on your tongue to ferment into larvae
that feed from your saliva, growing
long and thick before spilling out of
your mouth, a dead thing no one trusts
