Song of Pearl - Rockettothesky

With a howl in her chest,

and a pearl on her tongue,

she teaches me how

to web my fingers.

Sew me back into her mouth!

Make me a seashell

strung with silken threads.

I push a coffin through her lips;

in the pearl she engraves my face.

(I will inhabit her

but not yet, she says:

not yet.)

But in the dark trenches

my marbles roll in,

my water liles float,

my bear claws hummmmm

Take me to her I say,

take me back into her mouth!

Sea shells strung with silken threads
