The Shepherd

The peaceful shepherd dozing against warm wood of a pasture fence. Where sheep live like kings in a peasant's square protected and fed and led. The shepherd's kin cries weakly - but why are you not in the world, living? A crinoline reply floats above the sweetgrass. Where would I be without them?
