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
