Toothache

I lurk still in the thin veins of cold granite we hid in.
It is salt that catches the light.
Neon floods blind hooded crystal balls.
Snow shifts, settles on dry grass and dreams.
I tasted ice. My tongue stuck. It hurts to pull.
Candy is more like nanny. But far to sweet.
So I dipped my thumb in purple ink.
And sucked.

  1. i couldn't understand a thing, blame work on tiring me out. i do understand the concept of the name though. toothache.

    there are some pains that are psychological. some that are physical. but toothache is both!! :(
