I flash canines in grins
and spin, pointing at dragonflies
bird cries swing in trees, brash
and in the sky, clouds clash
my tongue tastes of moss
and the ocean in my stomach churls wry
I bite my freckles, as my head goes cross
my skin goes numb, at a loss
the world is too much
there is too much air
the sky could pop
and I wouldn’t care
eyes burrowed in brains
dark brow furrowed
canines bright
all my body pure light
no care for the sky’s endless night
I would be only power
the pious would cower
as my being
self-devours
