How do you wake-up with a bubble gum in the mouth?
Udita Banerjee
Voices inside the head.
Blurred with time.
Dreams come with a strange whirring sound,
like a machine
almost a machine
that needed oiling.
I do not remember
sleeping with a bubble gum
Something stuck
Stuck
in my mouth,
It grew
And stuck
Eating my teeth all along
Pink,
Rubbery,
Bubble gum
Bubble gum
cementing my insides
Writing/vomiting an untranslatable stubbornness.
I wake up
Wake up, wake up
Heavy it seems
Unbreathable
like a grave.
