Clenching my jaw
Unaware until
My bottom teeth
Meet the top row
Mashing
Like corn in a mortar
To dust, powder
Eventually
But not so soon
More slowly wearing
Waking me
In the night
With yet another
Symptom
Of my anxiety
Clenching my jaw
Unaware until
My bottom teeth
Meet the top row
Mashing
Like corn in a mortar
To dust, powder
Eventually
But not so soon
More slowly wearing
Waking me
In the night
