I wish I was old country syrinx playing shepherdA Poem by Richard GuimondLonesome shepherdI wish I was old country syrinx
playing shepherd
I wish I
was old country syrinx playing shepherd Sit on
mountain tops listening to racing cumulus Drinking
wine from comma shape skin bottles Breaking
cheese, a loaf of brown crusty bread Unfolding
a knife to spread geese liver country pâté.
I wish I
was old country syrinx playing shepherd With my
dog sat under a wind twisted old tree Counting
real sheep's till I slowly drift to sleep Dreaming
of Pan's bearded and hoofed children Peeping
on naked Artemis resting followers Mont
Ida, fountain bathing naiads and antic nymphs
I wish I
was old country syrinx playing shepherd Watching
the rising of Aphrodite's Evening Star Helios
chariot fiery horizon evening descent The starry
court, godly breast spit Milky Way A
distant sad lonely wolf call howling to Selene A howl
hoot, the Children of the Nights....
I wish I
was old country syrinx playing shepherd
