Song of Pearl Lyrics

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
M
M
M.

Take me to her I say,
Take me back into her mouth!
Sea shells strung with silken threads
Backintohermouth
