Wide-mouthed and hideous, her grin reveals her guile.
Her gap-toothed mouth reveals a mocking grin,
Hook-nosed crosswise, with both eyes set lengthwise.
With eyes set wide and flattened at the nose.

She has a mouth whose corners meet at the hollow of her nape.
Her lips meet at the seam leaving her gums bare
As though her thick lip had been cut from an elephant.
As if her tusks were those of baby elephant.

Her teeth have been multiplied in number within her throat,
Her teeth though many, scattered through her jaws,
All backed by extra teeth.
Are kept revealed by her unseemly smile.
