The dead robin

Skulls! Skulls! Skulls! the lizards shout.
A death, a death has come!
Come upon the robin in the east.
Skulls! Skulls! Skulls!

Do angels mourn for wasted pearls
vomitted, and swallowed again?
Swallowed back into guts,
into guts, into worms, into acid.

The robin is dead, holding his pearls
from his mouth, a feather from his wing
two pearls on a feather, the weakling
is dead again, he will die returning

Angels and birds on the left!
Birds and angels on the right!
the robin is dead holding his pearls
Angels are mourning! Oh pearls!

Pearls! Pearls! Pearls!
The angels took his pearls!
Skulls! Skulls! skulls! the birds shout
Shove the pearls back the robin's beak!

Do angels mourn for robins?
They mourn for pearls.
The birds will shout until the moon comes
Meanwhile, wait, dead robin, wait.
