To understand how light of long-dead stars 
animates human brains with fierce desire 
to fly with joy above this rumbling globe, 
I ask the humble prophet of the cow 
who gives me holy grail of milk to drink, 
so I feel tree roots curl into my heart. 

Cassandra walks beside the spinning wheel 
that rolls home-wagon on the windy plain 
on endless walk to find the Promised Land 
ruled by the humble prophet of the cow 
who writes strange puzzles on tablets of clay 
that cause time visions to flash in her eyes. 

Crouched by the wagon wheel of wordless hope, 
Cassandra watches with obsessive eye 
her father walk into the shadowed woods 
to ask the humble prophet of he cow 
which way they need to go on signless road 
to find the palace of the laughing clown. 

Head buzzing with mute terror of undeath, 
Cassandra treads the liminal expanse 
of sorrow toward horizon of her heart 
to hear the humble prophet of the cow 
proclaim his hegemonic state of mind 
which traps brave people in harsh tyranny. 

Advanced against blurred obstacles of faith 
to transcend metaleptic wall of fear 
erected by postprandial somnolence 
before the humble prophet of the cow 
can catch the angel falling off the moon, 
Cassandra parts veil to the Otherworld. 

Inspired by spark of new insightful vibe 
that channels flow of psychic synergy, 
Cassandra abjures fractured paradigm 
spooled by the humble prophet of the cow 
that affirms function of male privilege 
exploiting fertile nature of the womb. 

Spearheading progress of leveraged love 
against systemic power of desire, 
Cassandra gathers riddles of glass skulls 
forged by the humble prophet of the cow 
to build impactful program of respect 
ensuring mothers feed their children well. 

While drawing soul of serpents from the well 
whose whispers teach her secrets of dream runes, 
Cassandra gazes back down road of life 
paved by the humble prophet of the cow, 
and wonders how her brave children will fare 
in game of life long after she is dead.
