Bestiary, 1: Goat Song (\u03c4\u03c1\u03b1\u03b3\u1ff3\u03b4\u03af\u03b1)<\/strong><\/p>\n

«They dwell in the heights of the hills and when they see men a long way off, they can tell whether they are hunters or travellers. In the same way Christ loved the high hills, that is the prophets and Apostles, as the Song of Songs says: ‘Behold, He cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills\u2019 [2:8]\u201d Bestiary, an English version of the Bodleian Library, Oxford M.S. Bodley 764, Translated and introduced by Richard Barber, The Boydell Press, Woodbrigde. 1999, p. 54-5. <\/em><\/p>\n

The goat\u2019s song is soaring. Look up: trago-oidia.<\/p>\n

His horns are a bridge from the firm to the roiling.<\/p>\n

The earth rears up, baring the teeth of its peaks<\/p>\n

and hoisting the vales to the nests of the eagles.<\/p>\n

Below, waters roar \u2014 it\u2019s the passage of peoples;<\/p>\n

they’ve a covenant with death, and their ark was destroyed.
\n <\/p>\n

He patiently peers into faltering hearts<\/p>\n

with his struck-through eye, as if made of grey quartz;<\/p>\n

His hoof firmly set on precipitous slates,<\/p>\n

he picks out all the bookworms, deceivers, complainers.<\/p>\n

The same way the Lord\u2019s seeing eye penetrates<\/p>\n

the hearts of all men through their little round doors.
\n <\/p>\n

Imploring I come: make it so I remember<\/p>\n

all things, so he loves me, so the sun grows in splendor, <\/p>\n

humongous and splendid, but tasting of steel,<\/p>\n

its ensigns and rigging in sea-salt encrusted.<\/p>\n

The goat is a veritable image of Christ,<\/p>\n

his horns are a cross, he\u2019s our gift from the Father.
\n <\/p>\n

He is \u2014 isn’t he? \u2014 ancient Akkad\u2019s scaled genie;<\/p>\n

He\u2019s planted deer roses all fragrant and sunny;<\/p>\n

He’s hiding, curled up, in the folds of the brain.<\/p>\n

And then he’s a magus, and gnarled is his cane; <\/p>\n

And then he\u2019s a prince, and the slaves bring him trays<\/p>\n

with tears of his subjects, their pearls and their pennies.
\n <\/p>\n

They’ll put in his corpse, when the battle is over,<\/p>\n

the rattle of letters, the mumble of numbers.<\/p>\n

That’s where \u2013 from his skull, from its dust, ash and lint<\/p>\n

we’re pulled and created to dance easy-winged,<\/p>\n

to jump and cavort in the valley of mint<\/p>\n

where each of our leaps and turns counts as a prayer.
