The salt of theirs

The salt of their skin has its flayed
geometry, sharp crevices beneath
the classroom where my dark teeth
tried the savoury chalk and failed.

I have been a teacher for the sum
of my disjointed life; never knew
otherwise, never learnt, as I grew,
how to study the breadcrumb

where the heights have gathered.
My students, ants in my breath,
state they are builders of words

in silence and thrive, feathered
like fangless tigers, within death,
my blandest subterranean birds.
