Delicious monstrosity
will eat me alive tonight.
(In goes my feet.)
The gaping swallow
is like the dawn, and the tonsils
sway from side to side,
ticking, tocking, and eavesdropping
on my conscience.
(In goes my legs.)
I can’t believe I said I would,
I can’t believe I said I wouldn’t.
I am like the twilight I am like the cold
steps with frost, kicking along
the poisoned marigolds.
(In goes me, up to my neck.)
The teeth will set me free,
the teeth will let me be.
And I plunge into the night.
(All I see is the blinking clock.)
