lyrics

Poor cow

First the legs.
A gruesome signpost
Stiff, parallel to the ground.

She’s on her side
Abdomen stretched and distorted
Cruelly inflated
Not moving

A wasp crawling slowly over her open left eye

What kind of rhythms moved her?
Deep from the earth, woven in strange colours, pulsing imperceptibly
The harsh scraping of passing trains
Or twice daily trips to the dairy

Those tired legs and deep suffering eyes.
Still now, but not quiet.
