I can't help but think of how sweet you are

This is how my tooth aches:

First,
The pain spikes from the base of my jaw
up through the top of the tooth
and then throbs it's way back down.

Next,
The pain screams from somewhere below the gumline
down to the back of my mandible
and then with the grace of lightning,
it sighs blissfully in my cloud of unreasoned moaning.

Finally,
as the bits of bone are extracted with pliars,
and the taste of blood fills my mouth
it burns with the conviction of my uncles corpse
at his cremation.
