sacro amore bovini

sacro amore bovini [doug duffey]


those generations rest

the pious and divine rest

the cattle of love all rest

disciples remain and stay


evermore will herds

through gliding slayers

stormy man beasts

those happy alone, stray


the pious birds laugh

fowls bemused abstain

breasts swift in gliding

flee soon thence there


first the children di fiore

walkest and serve

sacrifice at the coming altars

loyal, holier than who are you

beneath love, greening us


remain men

on slayers lands

on flaming ramparts

along the region skies

adulatores rather old

the risen lure

that the young birds

eat
