Free of all reasons to stop,
the Shepard and his flock keep perfect time.
And the instruments they play are made of wood.
And around a fire, the girls danced, and conjured.
Who discovered the first Civilization?
Can you still see the hands-
hypnotized in a thunderous clap-
forcing the very air out from their palms-
and splitting into the ears of the coyotes?
For pleasure, and for safety.
The days of simple are long destroyed.
But, the Shaman keeps the time,
becoming bewildered and wild eyed.
Delusional of what he may become,
or already has.
And the gypsy dances around the fire,
clapping, and carefree.
