Herder (Michiq)
You see nothing more than two-hundred animals,
identical.
Yet I can recognize each by her laughter.
And yes of course they laugh.
They intertwine their necks with the wind and they dance.
In the desolate, forbidding mountains
on the dark and silent paths
daily we walk together
sometimes they, sometimes I,
lead the march.
Like Bachās sorrowful hymns
they dissipateā¦
Sometimes swiftly, sometimes placidly
until upon us, the night descends.
And when the appointed day arrives
to Mother Earth I shall express my gratitude
to my dear animal, my appreciation,
and I will slaughter her.
I wonāt waste a single drop of her bloodā¦
Only we know of this exhortation
Only we know who we are
and although we shall cry knowing all of this, so shall we rejoice.
In the silent, distant meadows,
I am a herder.
Herding Sheep is More than Chasing Stars
Our dear sheep are grains of amaranth
scattered upon your heart
stars that shine in your arms.
In the blue, fog-draped fields
near the silvery-gold lagoon
having descended from the sky,
they are grazing.
Just the mist, just the wind.
Our dreams are illusoryā¦
To herd sheep in faraway lands
is more than chasing stars
