The dinner rabbit’s blood
Showing the doorstep snow
The best way in
Is falling finally out,
In with the wood
Onto the red glazed
Tile oven tiles,
Into the livid flicker
In the grate,
Into the smoke
White sky
Widening,
In with the ash,
The novice priest,
The cassock sleeve,
One flake from all
The fluttering
Wood ash dusting
Down,
In through the golden wine,
The ringing shot,
Oil and the spice,
Oil and the finest red powder,
In through the rabbit’s suddenly
Naked
Silver
World
