Mouth full of rotting teeth
hidden from my mind
way in the back
and along the gum line.
Black and grey
the rotten decay
alongside fillings
from yesterday.
With such care
I thought I’d been cleaning
Protecting myself
from seductive leanings.
With sweet falsities
have I been cheating?
Or weak teeth
have done the eating?
