In Between Teeth
A Poem by Alira
CONTENT WARNING:
Short but a little gross.
Some more weird content I randomly wrote. Been feeling pretty odd.
In Between Teeth
Alira Cohen
String dangling
Pink and long
Stuck in the gum
Bruised and tangled
A torn flag in the rocks
A human string
From slashed tendons
Trustworthy smiles
Don’t come back for me

I think much of the poetic structure will go over my head. All I can say is it's interesting, especially due to the lines:
"A human string"
"Trustworthy smiles"
"Don’t come back for me"
It's actually quite amazing how such few words can cause a vivid scene to come into mind. I think it's incredible how you can jot down these few words and give each reader something unique to ponder. How it tells a story that must be pieced together.
I also am a fan of the line:
"A torn flag in the rocks"
I cannot lie. I am not much of a poetry-lover. However, this is one of my favorite pieces.

It’s a great honor when someone who isn’t usually into poetry really likes a poem I wrote (I’m gonna be frank, I’m more into prose as well, but my most current prose pieces are incomplete at the moment…I find that poems are good for me to write because they keep me relatively on my game and help with writer’s block).
