On having my teeth wired-shut after a jaw surgery You can't hold the word under lock and key! Wires tremble when the soul tries to yawn… Hey! Call the doctor! Inside of me, another poem is starting to dawn. Can you hear it whimpering in the cradle of ribs, clattering with the worn-out rattlers of my insides? Listen, doctor, I can feel its lips sponging the silence from the sulking windpipes. Doctor, help me! I can't control it! My body - my temple is shaking in rage… I can't take its crying! Somebody console it! -- But nothing can silence the bird in the cage! Check out my poetry here: |

Listen, doctor, I can feel its lips sponging the silence from the sulking windpipes. "I feel your pain"..I use to have a chronic dislocating jaw..so I know partially the hurt it can send. feel better M |

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Andrey, I'm sorry that your jaw feels sore after surgery, sweet friend, I know how things like this must hurt but know soon it will heal and while it might hurt right now you will feel much better in the end! (sigh) My thoughts are with you, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Andrey, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
