Lyrics

Eating the living germs of grasses Eating the ova of large birds the fleshy sweetness packed around the sperm of swaying trees The muscles of the flanks and thighs of soft-voiced cows the bounce in the lamb's leap the swish in the ox's tail Eating roots grown swoll inside the soil Drawing on life of living clustered points of light spun out of space hidden in the grape. Eating each other's seed eating ah, each other. Kissing the lover in the mouth of bread: lip to lip.
