Eyepennies

I will return here one day
And dig up my bones from the clay
I buried nails and strings and hair
And that old tooth I believe was a bear'sI held my hand in the fire
It burned me down to the wiresBlood suckers hide beneath my bed
And black fumes of skin so gently bled
I slept with a cat on my breast
Slowing my heart, stealing my breathAt sunrise the monkeys will fly
And leave me with pennies in my eyesI will return here one day
And dig up my bones from the clay
I buried nails and string and hair
And that old tooth I believe was a bear'sAt sunrise the monkeys will fly
And leave me with pennies in my eyes
