Belly Up

Papa let the dogs in
They slept in the basement sometimes
I watched from the grass
Then one day the whale
Ate my tiny house
I was left with a city
I was left in the ocean
A duckling sat on my shoulder
Sang me the lullaby:
"Your eyes blur without help
Let your eyeballs make love
Behind the eyelid curtains
And your lashes will dance
Until the sea is hit with sun".
