THE GOOD LITTLE GIRL&THE GREAT GOD PAN



C Ra McGuirt





i knew this crazy little girl
ardelia moonbeam flowerstar,
who believed the Great God Pan
to be her pet; a sunday lamb
with pink bows on his horns.

ms. ardelia was sure
that Pan would never tell a lie
at least not to a girl like her,
who'd always been unfailingly,
painstakingly correct:

she'd never broken the rainbow rules
or gotten mud on her white dress;
she always had the answers when
called upon in karma class,

& Pan was such a pretty goat
she lead Him on a daisy chain.
in the light, He smelled so sweet,
but came the night. the mannered bleat

behind her turned into a roar,
& she was on her breathless face
beneath His terrible stinking weight
her dirty dress around her waist
as Pan pierced her to the core.

we haven't seen her any more,

although we found her chewed-up
patent leather shoes.
