On The Other End Of Eight / new poems 2011

Pagan Eves

Within me, ribs
caged
wanting release

and so with the remainder
of my broken teeth, I tear,

I break them loose
with the chew of sinew,
the shark bite of cartilage,
the mastication of marrow

choking my
own muffled howl
stifled by
bitten, bloody lips

carrying a kiss
for all the pagan
Eves I will fashion.
