You had spirits take the front teeth out of you

I wish I knew what god could fix it.

If I had understood the stars in their beginnings

our dark passageway could have gone on living.

And when I lie awake staring at the night line

you stay out of my peripheral sight

blacked and bruised from the tides of our past lives.

Is the question open ended and unworn?

Can your fangs take back everything I withdrew?

Did the spirits resign all of God from you?
