To commemorate the first post of my blog, I'm posting one of my first poems. Enjoy!
Cavities
My teeth are decaying
at an unexpected rate.
My dentate are a ghost town,
a small collection of former homes
hidden beneath a mossy wood.
Structures cast aside,
once well maintained and cared for,
now long lost in the depths of consciousness.
Windows are fracturing,
doorways collapsing.
Shingles are peeling,
porches folding.
I came upon this tightly knit community
of twenty-nine buildings,
eager to restore each one.
Am I too late?
Will the damage done to these neglected bicuspids
give way to their evident demise?
I hopefully can repair this once great civilization
before the plaster disintegrates
into the soft soil from which
they were built upon.
