i am red endless
that here gives me strength
the harvest moon makes wine
of our blood
i drink offend the magnificent cow
o magnificent cow so often i offend
o comrades spread your nets
in these woods
for i have just seen a lioness
a tigress a panther some colossal cat
a sound sounding bronzehoofed
golden manes golden armor golden cunt
don’t speak to me
of facts
i consider all the words i know
unprove them
a pack of hunting dogs approach
i hunt.
