Bleak Teeth Poem by bakuli bhakali

Bleak Teeth



when she was smiling
I saw her bleak teeth leaking through her lips
She was hiding though
I wonder
What made them so mossy? !
Her greed? Hunger? Or grief?
I wonder-
How greed one must be to hide it deliberately
If it’s hunger?
I wonder
What kind of hunger that can be!
If it’s grief? !
Maybe
Maybe she’s hiding some pain and to hide that pain she is having some pain to hide.
