After her blue days
dressed like King David –
I saw her walk with a black
feather duster. Did she
follow the path of the angels
who left Satan
behind
in the streets of Berlin?

I can still see her
now as she stood then
in black
on the Mount of Olives
with her feather duster. Sweeping
each day, she says: God is dead,
or in any case far away.
