«

i guess i kind of missed you



By Brandon Barrett



I ate your teeth
Or I licked them,
Clean as bones in a leaf pile
In A place where children play
And a frost settles around the
nose of a wandering dog
I walked to the corner and shoved a door
That opened to a room with a couch
And you were in that couch,
a girl with frost splintered teeth,
Smiling, awaiting my return. .
