poliphiloI've just remembered I have a poem about the horned god. It was written in the early nineties...
The Horned God
Herne, Cernunnos, Pan, the Devil,
Only the Earth herself is older,
But when the first heroic egos
Came bouncing out of the steppes on their ponies,
Taking charge of mortality
With edged bronze and Homeric verse,
He avoided them. He became an outlaw.
As Robin Hood or the Pied Piper
He makes his strikes against government
From a green castle behind the trees.
