“Meditations on Leaving” from Teeth Never Sleep by Ángel García
What spills from your lips into your palm —blood puddled—are all the words you’ve swallowed: a constant quiet, dying of hunger.
— Ángel García, from “Teeth Never Sleep,” Teeth Never Sleep

Teeth Never Sleep
they simply continue singing
the same sad song of tooth grinding against tooth, the music of the mouth that never ceases.
All my life I have carved language from stone, and watched the excess fall like dust to the floor in a perfect dance.
The little bits of bone I swallow during the night are the small fragments of death, and in the morning I wake up dying of hunger.
Ángel García
