“Radium Teeth” by Daniella Sloane

I'm plastic
painted over paper skin
and all that glitters
is aluminum foil
your sweat
and rage
leave a metal taste
in my mouth
like blood
and salt
and motor oil

I melt
a stinking sweet
puddle of flesh
in the cold shower
it happens
almost
every day now
dying a little bit
hour
by
hour

Another love song
penned by pedophiles
in a darkened noon
false teeth shine
like radium
my bones sharp
and glowing
in the middle
of this bed,
fucked again
beautiful child
