Gaptooth gospel

A blow I thought’d miss hit clean and cleaved

The stars were like my broken teeth

Scattered across the bar’s scored teak

My personality a persistent leak; one that lasts as long as it lasts.

East enough of Eden you’ll loop around to its westmost girdle fast,

Guarded by an oft-genuflecting angel of vast wing-reign

Who twirls an unworldy sword of Merlinfire against the Fall’s resustaining.
