I wish there is so much more to this poem so many lines you started with this fantastic jumping off point I wish you would've jumped And in the eye of the dead cow for a moment I thought it was winking back at me certain that I too would be dying in this night but I would not go quietly into the white ...I would instead sing in hope that old cow might hear me and
Like a newborn child come to dance with me again....

Perfect. I hope that cow rots and pieces can drop from it and give you freedom through the putrefaction.
