and death, as in "The Sacrifice", a poem featuring a bull, in which two maidens lead the mesmerised animal in a highly sexualised dance that climaxes when they take a knife to its throat and the bull "swoons/into its edge, blood falling/in bright gobs on earth/where corn will sprout/green and gold".
from Sarah Crown: The Guardian: Red Riding Hood's rebellion
