His cup overflows with your milk

His cup overflows with your milk!

Does he have a vampire mouth

to suck you cow`s teat?



And me, your child

i take dregs and drops

of sweat and breath.



Then, i stand watching

at that distant drop

falling from his cup



and dreaming of fortune

from afar, averting my eyes

from you, my unmilked cow, my land.



When at last i lift my face

toward the savannah sky

the sun has set



And what's mine i've already lost

drained into his cup

my cow`s milk!
