Let the Dog Sing

Safe as a worm warm
as a young thing
in the soft ground
Let the dog sing
Let the soft bird
scratch
Chalk
to erase milk
You can drink chalk
to erase eyes
with the white milk
You can rub eyes
out
Let the bird scratch
Let the milk chalk
Let the corpse hatch
Let the dead walk
Let the dog sing x9
Let the bird scratch
Let the milk chalk
Let the corpse hatch
Let the dead walk
Let the dog sing x3
Safe as a worm warm
as a young thing
in the soft ground
Let the dog sing
Let the soft bird scratch
Safe as a worm back
in my own skin
as it turns back
as it slides in
Make the old dog
wait
Sing!
Sing!
Let the dog sing x4
Let the bird scratch
Let the milk chalk
Let the corpse hatch
Let the dead walk
Let the dog sing
Let the bird scratch
Let the milk chalk
Let the corpse hatch
Let the dead walk
Let the dog sing x3
