with nothing at all

tear the limbs
off the flower slowly

carve your heart out
with a knife

look into the brown eyes of
millions and see 
nothing

cry into the words 
cry into nothing

the woman without love
and the men searching it for it
underneath fingernails  

the earth stands still but who put
heavy heaving heart inside me and why?

there is no murder here

the calves have been sliced at
their knees
but their eyes know nothing

all the wrong heads

the executioner has been wrong
the noose has been wrong
