Haiku Blast - Teeth

Teeth chattering cold.
Teeth clamoring to get out
of my rotting head.

Mouth drowning in oil,
Gagging on my sickening bile,
"Don't open your mouth."

Thirty white horses
On a red hill. First they stamp,
And then they are still.

Mouth--she is smoldering
Whilst teeth smoke--they are mouldering
All else--shouldering.

Teeth. Teeth. Teeth. Teeth. Teeth.
Turn to slivers and pierce lips
Splaying gums, flaying.

Teeth on skin, nibbling.
Saliva through lips, dribbling. 
Youth and death, sibling.
