DECAY

By Zenobia

To open your phone and find 

photos of them cheating,

was to notice

your own burning smooth tongue 

from open mouth kissing sweet deceit, coated

in the crystal ether of a lemon sun—

Betrayal wore down your teeth, now

truth screams into them

 cold, shrill

as the dental bur twists.
