Praise the earth
in whom our hands have worked
praise the animals
whose throats we have cut
praise us
if we work earth
and cut throats
with reverence and thanks.
Praise the earth
that it makes its gifts
praise the animals
that they fuck for dear life
praise us
that we take gifts
and dear life
if
that we give gifts
and dear life
in our turn
then praise us
most of all.
