Audhumla From Norse Myth: The frost kept melting and from the drops the divine cow Audhumla was created. From her udder flowed four rivers of milk, on which Ymir (the frost giant) fed. The cow itself got nourishment by licking hoar frost and salt from the ice. She begat Buri, the first Norse god. Also note, in Egyptian mythology the Milky Way, personified as the cow goddess Hathor, was seen to be a river of milk flowing from the udders of a heavenly cow.
My infant's lips
pucker, still half-asleep,
dreaming of breasts
so engorged they leak
the creamy smell of Mother.
When He wakes,
He suckles frantically,
nipping and tugging,
knowing nourishment
is found only here -
in my never-ending
streams of dairy.
For I am his Audhumla,
the primeval cow, the core of creation,
nurturing his burgeoning world,
offering a Milky Way,
a universe of stars and light,
which He – the young god –
may feast upon.
