Teeth
(i.m. Joy Gardner)
This is X who has all her own teeth.
Her mother is horrified by this.
Look into her mouth. She still has them.
Perfect pearls. Milk stones. Pure ivory.
Not a filling, no receding gums.
X was a woman with a lively
smile. Since she was a girl. No dark holes.
Her mother wore, still does, false teeth. Tusks,
badly fitted, left something unsaid â
a tiny gap between tooth and gum.
Her mumâs teeth, in a glass tumbler, swam
at night: a sharkâs grin; a wolfâs slow smirk.
