The guilded Cow
by Leena Lübbe
11 July 2024








 

read by the author

I am guilty of milking the cow.

A sticky liquid from a bodily function,

Glandulae.

Meant for just one specific purpose. Exclusively,

Glandulae.

Carrying the fresh Green from the fields,

the memory of fresh cutting air,

Glandulae.

​

Oh white, fatty juice!

Floating in purity IMpurity in purity IMpurity

Of one function only

A whole life that was lived

Swimming life, to be handed over

To give life.

​

Guilty.

Stole the white, fatty juice.

​

A thief I am for sure

But also I was in Need

Not in Need but Needy they say as I am grown

But in need of being nurtured Like an Infant.

There's a needy infant I am hosting in my adult body.

​

I am grown as they say.

So I say:

​

Cheers to the crowd,

Let's eat the whole cow!
