a man with a vacuum cleaner
meaning to knock
on a door
is possessed
perhaps
by the heat
of day
to instead
answer
the door
(while)
behind him
a girl
wearing
the hat
of a dead
witch
is carried
up the street
on the shoulders
of a boy
whose bald head
is empty
(above

it all)
a crow
born inside
a footstep
is passing
for dark
