The tooth fairy
Took my pain away and
Rewarding me financially
Tooth separating from gum
Hanging by a thread
Throbbing, swelling, aching
Pillow comfort
Dreaming of a quarter
Buying a dream
Waiting for a growth
More perfect or straighter
A permanent solution
Nesting away money
Smiling as the fairy comes to visit
Secretly knowing a parent comfort
Reference the shock of pain equal coins
Teething memories blocked
Enamel flourishing through my mouth
Biting food
Wrapping gourmet tastes
Without needing to smell
My inner fairy beginnings
not in my house
