Losing Teeth

We fed on honey in our prime
Thickened 'round the middle and lost our minds
Pecked at the pills that we were served
Like gravel to the gizzard of out frayed nerves
Poisoned sleep with ugly dreams
Of losing teeth
Of losing teeth

Every mirror cracked and window black
Our lungs expand in hot blown glass
Stirring to the sounds of white noise s
Humming and whining through the snaking wires
Shaking our branches in the wind
We're losing leaves
And we're losing teeth

Crying over milk spilled out our eyes
Bowing nickel-wound veins with kitchen knives
Like the chewed lower lip of Camille Claudel
Waiting for her lover at the gates of hell
We wagged our tounges and gummed our meat
We're losing teeth
We're losing teeth

Tugging at the roots till our gums bleed
Each tooth clattering in the sink
Pliers to the corner of a raspberry grin
Blood brims our lips, spills past our chin
And it's off to bed - we lay our heads
We're off to sleep
And no more losing teeth
