gelt

we are sewn from the sands of time
bright seeds patient in womb
gold shining from between parted thighs
lighted ore inspire the tomb

welling roar and swell of sweat
dare we the plow, the sword, the threat?

as stolen moon bides her time
young thief racing 'round her legs gloating
this free inheritor ripe to the rind
crowned for slaughter 
kid and goat and king
