driving back from the dentist today
I saw an eagle in the. sky then realized it was a vulture he didn't charge me for the X-rays to soften the blow of the bad news I never had that nightmare the one where all your teeth fall out my mother once put a hex on a co-worker she paid with a tooth told me not to dabble in the dark arts because it comes back three fold I listened but it doesn't matter the dead are taking me tooth by tooth robbing my sleep this is how vampires are born that vulture has his eye on me crows scream at me every morning the bread offering wasn't enough I will have to save my lost teeth do some weird shaman shit in the woods or the sea in a past life I must have murdered someone now I have to sage the house until it burns down I dream of rodents body parts missing a life collecting the trash that others leave behind I kneel in the dark offer my teeth my empty uterus my macheted heart what will you give me in return?
