< a Cheshire cat >
her grins
still disappeared
and blinked back on
bright tooth by tooth
(by now a few were missing)
then today she whispered to me:
"there's no need to morn my death
with all i've killed
i bit into the mothers
tasted milk mixed with their blood
their children left to starve
i am a beast
there is
no need to mourn
come close"
she bit me
then she disappeared

a brightly colored fungus that grows in bark inclusions
