extract from: 'invocations'
once
on a flat ledge
overlooking a gorge
in Crete
I conjured Pan
a cloven clatter
an overwhelming stench
of rot and rut
the rising hairlipped wail
of a goat god
which had me running
for the comfort
of retsina and ouzo
(when you died)
the lights went out
on the Migneint
trees grew quiet in Coed Mawr
wells ran dry in churches
