her tooth decay
husband and father a teeth feasted
by germs and rot,be reasonable
for the distance,as the fowl smelling
be aired absolute by your step backward
two tightened shut eyes be blind
yes,to delete the dirty dent away
from your view,and gaze of darkness
upon what even the look of the tooth brings
and your ear be locked and blocked
for the transfer or worms not to your ear
you'd rather have it waxy clean
than extend to a drop of her insult
but surrounding the mouth smell
is the priceless life of a lad to grow
without the bee or the ant alike
for ordinary stink,not even like poverty
