Thick as
unleavened bread
on the dry tongue,
this mercy
requires you to chew
and chew,
this mercy
you want to show
yourself.
If a seed catches in your teeth
work it into your gum
until you bleed.
and it softens
how you taste yourself.
Let your teeth fall
and rattle a song.
Swallow what you have chewed,
and tear off more. Work your wounded mouth
upon it. There’s no such thing
as too much of this mercy,
not for you.
