Return To Innocence

everybody went away
nobody stayed
to kiss the hand
thrust in
a  handful of Earth
into the eyes

was left under the sky
which wasn’t left so much
anymore

crossed my hands
ran out

     a cat was
     eating up a dove
     staring
     eyes full of love
     in the deep sack of
     the fur
     at a spider
     stumbling drunkenly
     over the dew
 
so little was left
 
came
all at once
lime on the faces
boiling wine in the cups

     removed the furniture
     bathed the baby
     put it quiet
     smelling of crushed poppy
     onto the mother’s bosom
     which there was
     as much as the sea
     the congealing ocean blood
