Teeth falling out, sockets black and deep .... cramming teeth back in ... teeth crumbling in my hands ...
Demented in public. Screaming. Water Street in the freezing rain; wearing only a thin black dress. Desperate for coherence. Cop on either arm. Struggling. Screaming. Thoughts clear, mouth possessed. Dragged to the lockup. Dark.
Locked in a corset -- that one's neuralgia.
Kneeling down to admire a wildflower -- becoming the wildflower -- pinched finger and thumb blocking the sun --
Finding a friend waiting for me in a diner booth -- packets of jam on the table in little piles -- long since fallen alseep because I'm hours late -- delighted he's still there -- reach out to wake him but am dragged away --
