Pan--1st Draft
Thursday, June 22nd, 2017 02:59 pmPan is for Panic
When nobody knows
How to pin you down
And so they trip over
Themselves instead.
Pan is for Pantheon
The long long list of
Virtues and vices
Deified into orderly lists
Of people you might want.
Pan is for Pandemic
Everywhere and all at once
Things they overlook are
Now growing strong and
They are outnumbered.
Pan is for Pandemonium
Chaos’s favored child
The heart and soul of a storm
Riotous rout, a tumultuous
Outpouring of songs
Pan is for Pan
The great goat-horned god
Wildling of wild woods
Companion of nymph and satyr
Sexual being unbound
By restriction of rule of law
A rustic ruler of his own
Nature and nurture.
Battle blooded with gods
Child of trickster Hermes,
Fearsome to small minds
His greatest trick echoes
Across the sea at Paxi
Pan has never yet died,
He lives in the hearts of
His many soul-kin, lovers
Who seek where they find.
Pan is for All
