till the cows come home

i have been dreaming of cows..
have they been dreaming of me?

there is a cow courting me
i am fertility she says
i am soil, regenerated
i am the rawness of life in Inana, Persephone, Magdalene
the life of devotion beseeches me

come home, darling
i am not a beast
i do not give milk - i am milk

i am the temple you cannot keep
life itself
come home, darling
we are life
