Hypodermic dentures
The New Year slinks in
on his belly
dragging behind him such ice
it needles your face
It’s New–you’ve come
unstuck
from your country
and like a wolf in highbeams
it snarls it lunges
flashing hypoderm fangs
pushing your body through
the clear water
New–propulsion and deliciousness
New–simple and skimming-through
and the taut beat of the jugular
New–shooting into that slap
and breaking into white parcels
and repulsion and ridiculousness
You impale yourself with each
exhalation
No coldness no tightness of breath
