Catku, Revisited

3.
Nothing frightened me
Until I heard
My babies screaming.

2.
And you wonder why
I do not play
In cardboard bags?

1.
He drowned them
And came in
And you never asked
If they went
To good homes, and I
Waited, but he
Never washes his hands.

0.
I never fear death
By drowning, only by
Not hearing them
When they call my name
From so far away
Over the waves
And under
emptiness.
