the whole world
is in your mouth hole
tip of tongue
the glue cave of your roof
that shard
Jenolan in the 70’s
man in the shorts
yet to be made famous by Steve Irwin
splaining how the calcium
drips through stone the earth
ends up a spike a’glitter
this is not your tooth
today ground down
like a moo cow
save for one troubling
edge of toledo steel
the dentist out of the question
you are there below ground in the river caves
where Charon asked for that coin to cross
empty pockets betting
on the rate of enamel decay and the exact moment
when the nerve comes into play
That's a knockout Kerry - I was there - in all the caves
