gold can be eaten /
line the stomach with /
layers of gild /
brilliant gut, lead the way prosperous /
it’s the teeth that betray us /
fangs behind the smile /
a bite could be a song /
pressed directly into flesh /
everyone hides from the /
ice cream truck now /
winter is summer, freezing living pipes /
the heart cracks open /
always an empty organ by design / \
children line up /
against the wall
for their final year portraits /
trying to cover the holes /
already forming /
on their nameplates
