Holy cows

Revered, placed in a carefully consecrated sanctum sanctorum
Till the ordained time, when they are slaughtered

Slaughtered after an elaborate ritual of rage
their hide left intact, to make a punching bag

A punching bag that can be hit and hit again

The winter evening settles down
With smell of steaks in passageways...
The burnt-out ends of smoky days.
And now a gusty shower wraps
The grimy scraps
Of withered leaves about your feet...

AND THEN

THE LIGHTING OF THE LAMPS...
