Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Edit 3

Sunday night resembled a dung beetle's heap,
but with a steady, broken sibilance at 2 a.m.,
the rain had hushed uncertainties,
save the spasmodic grating of a rusted iron gate.
 
On Monday, when the dentist opened,
my cavernous tooth was chiseled out
and placed into a pan.
 
Declaring sick leave,
a couple days slid into chrysalis and died.

Only that which rose above or stood out starkly  
could be seen in the evaporating mist.
An oak swayed gently and unladen,
decades older than I had imagined,
and magnificent.

The cavernous tooth was chiseled out and placed into a pan.
The first bloody gauze looked like a pouch of nicotine. dip

Sunday's end resembled a dung beatles heap,
but with a steady, broken sibilance or rattling at 2 a.m.,
the rain had almost hushed uncertainties,
save the spasmodic grating of a rusted iron gate.

Declaring sick leave,
a couple days slid into chrysalis and died.
