Retribution (Meltdown #4)

It struck forcefully in the
middle of December,
my madness

a glitch in the seatbelt sparked
The Inevitable Meltdown,
crawling through glass
that never cut, only stuck

all my teeth fall out like
coins from a vending machine.
I do not blame you.

digging into our child's mouth,
I tear away plastic tubing.
there is no sigh of relief.

I file my fingers in her ribcage--
"unfinished"
