22 February 2012

The oblong head of a goat lead its body towards the house. The goat was surrounded by others, some younger, some older, some more shaggy, some more energetic; together the goats that fanned across the garden managed to occupy the full spectrum of the palette called ‘off white’. A sheepdog hunched its shoulders above its back as it slunk along beside the herd, ears alert to the calls of the shepherd with a black sports cap and long forked walking stick. Around the necks of the goats, flat-ended bells hung from leather straps that were dulled and softened by use.

We drove the car as far as the steepness, ruttedness and narrowness of the track permitted, opening the doors to dark ruffled underbellies of herringboned banks of cloud that then rose in white elevations towards a milky-blue sky above. Near the watershed, tributary paths lead up the valley flanks to fenced-in rows of vines, concrete blockhouses without immediate purpose or troughs supplying irregular expanses of empty dirt. Led by less and less faint ringing, we came to the untended herd jammed into a nettle-filled gully, tearing grass, chewing grass, a mother’s tongue rasping its calf’s hide, shifting nervously, bells swinging.
