Behind the Poem
Touch my teeth by Sarah ck
that last time
we were together
I had a toothache
wisdom teeth throbbing in irony
I barely but did ignore it
sedated by your hips
grinding
to the beat
of my jaws sting
still now, some nights
I swear, just for ease
I close my eyes and reach
mimicking you between my tighs
until my legs stick with sweat
and I let my breath fall high
pacified by self-pitied shame
but it feels so good
to touch my tongue
over the empty gums
where rotten teeth
used to be.
