Ghost of Teeth and Hair - Cretin

Gross

They say i ate you in the womb

That mom had no room

Your teeth

hair and fingernails in my brain

Explain why i’m not smart

Doctors cut you out

Mom kept you in a baggie

I glued your parts into a doll

Do you like your little cape?

We ride my bike so fast we pedal hard

Right past the mean dog’s yard & through the woods

Oh twin you want back in?

They stole you from the grave inside my brains

Now you haunt, you beg

Mom said you don’t miss inside of me

But she’s wrong, my ghost of teeth and hair

It got dark, streetlights turned on

Mom will know we’ve gone too long

She’ll see i stole the kitchen knife

Her favorite one of all

One last chance to see if you are ok there

Taped on top my handlebars, orare you still

Sad we can’t be like normal outside twins?

Fine you win, you’ll go back in. i’ll put you back

We all go back.

Now

We ditch the bike and hide behind

The hill with dirt clods

Try

To make a fire but can’t without

My flint and tinder.

Cut my bandage off

Gonna have to feel

My way around no mirror

I peel the skin right back

And pop the threads my bone is like a door

You go inside and rattle, say hello

Hello again my twin

So much blood squirt the glue and wait

Have you found your hiding place?

Stars!

In the sky or behind my eyes?

Now we sleep whole again

Now we sleep whole again

Now we sleep

Now we
