sharkmouth (Lyric) by Bill Z Bub
X-ray ladies smile:
show me sharkmouth.
freaked-out metalmouth.
hovering platinum halo guile,
gleaming needle pearling
for candy apple gums,
snow laced with blood,
icewater numb.
"soothing blisters of synthesis
walk on alkaline locks"
the shark never ceases
assault in the crevices
quicksilver trajectory
thumb through directory,
sea king.
no thing.
fuzzed out, bloating,
sucked undertowing,
memory floating.
zig-zagged yellow dominoes
twisted wire poking through
my cheeks making continual O's
with a sharkmouth
spitting:
"soothing blisters of synthesis
walk on alkaline locks"
Uneven to my tonguetip
you separate, pulled by lipbalm
green-knees, shudder-breeze,
handclamp, biblecamp.
Awkward fingers
make away in the shade,
cut open your shoulder
on my silverbarbed
muddlemouth.
Now sewn shut and
under combination.
sea king,
some thing.
a sick confirmation
and this is the body.
Years from now I'll tongue you
like a secret scar.
say it like a rock star
like the acrid welts in my cheeks,
haven't tasted in weeks.
Hiding sharkmouth,
muse on the chewing
of chokecherries,
and feel the red trickle
from the corners
when I keep trying to say:
"soothing blisters of synthesis
walk on alkaline locks"
