From Head to Toe, 9



Head to Toe:
Boning Up on the Bones of the Body

Skull (h): facial bones 2: maxillae

The maxillae—your upper jaw—
Is necessary (as you know).
Just think of all those films you saw—
Those vampires with those teeth that grow

When they are thirsty for some blood—
And find a neck with pulsing vein.
But with no maxillae? No flood
To feed—no pulsing pain.
