Molar - Allison Thung
The body—
how it knows
to rid itself
of what by
which it is
no longer
served.
- Bone spicules
“Damage / on a Tuesday; / consequence / on a Saturday.” (Damage)
Thus begins the story that leads us to Molar, Allison Thung’s micro collection of poems that center her fractured relationship with her tooth. These poems are at once visceral and reflective. Like floss in the gap between canine and incisor, Molar slips past the crown and exposes the bone.
