Upward

This was all and all From the window

they threw down gold coins

The others in the street didn’t collect them they stayed

motionless silent looking up

perhaps at the contracted hungry hand

perhaps at the cloud or at the earthen statue

or that big nail from where

Anna some years ago hung herself

Then they fell down finally and collected the coins You

stayed again alone in the dust

hiding the severed arm in your shirt
