though not numerous,
the holes they left are
wide
like caverns
pits

of tissue
that swell in anger

and size.

it is said that wisdom
teeth
are more trouble
than they're worth.

i watch the birds collide
as they swoop
across my window in
small arcs

like tight-rope lovers

their backs bend
and they pitch their
bodies forward into
the air

warbling

from the back
of their throats

a sinking sensation
in the pit of my stomach
tells me that this
must be the same as falling

must feel the same as flying

on days like this,
when my body

plummets.
