They took my love away

Outside in the dark
a male corpse hanging from the stars
is sluggishly swaying
dancing death.

Smoke rising from the opposite house.
On a kitchen corner
a crime-breeding elegant hand
turns the corrupt juice of the forbidden fruit
into marmalade
singing
“they took my love away.”
