Weasel

a bite like hot charcoal
              a nate full
              of stolen baby teeth

that scythes off dried skin
              ripped off like old wallpaper
              the tearing of small birds

hidden under an early barn
              mice shake like clocks
              and cry in cold straw

You tap dancer, 
              as cruel as a broken tooth
              as evil as a round eye

Interesting descriptions! Very poetic, makes the reader, think, experience and get swept away in your words

Very imaginative. You write in a style that is almost beyond my ability, to make very unique images. That is the one thing I am not good at in poetry. I admire it when I see it in others!
