girl teeth and god blood
Mary Sims
& you are dream water—
something materialized out of
believed true bones & desire.
Born from the left teeth
of creatures bordering holy & still waiting for all
the blood.
It’s a cycle of lives trying
to live through all
the buried blurs on troubled skin,
still disowned
from their keeper.
It is bones & teeth & heartbreak—somewhere,
burning for their own place
to starve something great.
