Pearls
When finally you think you could smile
again, you
realize your teeth are broken
and you hide
behind your own fist.
Not what you expected
except in that
dream state
where you saw
your teeth
rolling across
the floor, spilling
like pearls
before
you could close
your lips.
Now you tell
yourself
the sure secret
of starting over—
You are not the
same.
