L'aura del campo


'é a lua, é a lua, na quintana dos mortos'
♣ Federico García Lorca ♣


Higgins Street Bridge, April 25th  2009, Missoula, Montana


L'aura del campo. A breeze in the meadow. So it began the last day of Spring, 2005; on the 16th day of the month of Light of the year 162. This is a supplement to my daily journal written to a friend, my muse; notes I do not share. Here I will share what the breeze has whispered to me.

A star winking,
a man gazing at a rope.
At dawn who will notice his corpse
alongside the dark Moon's perception,
the periphery of false hope.

Like white peeling bark, like a snag
high above the male mountains, Sleeping Woman
shines, her glistening peak a gathering
of clouds she wrings dry.
Ermine clothed in Autumn,
she holds the elixir of Spring waters
to slake the parch of Summer.

Kansas 1975

'60 Pontiac,
french blue,
tail light fading
in Hiawatha;
in Sabetha,
grill coming sat ya,
gleaming;
pocked country road,
the 389 cruising at 80,
dust flying;
the song of a meadowlark
in the corn;
finally, freedom.
Kansas,
an open road.

© Kåre Enga 7.september.2014

Original title: "Memory of 1975"; Catherine suggested the present title which is stronger. Not so random thoughts. A memory of 1975. Needs a better title. I use titles... helps me find them.

Hiss

Listen.
sssss
When there's no wind in the
sssss
willow and no teapot
sssss
on the rock path.

Stop.
sssss
Listen.
sssss
Back away.
sssss
Grab a stick.
sssss
Heed the hiss.

This too is the West

This is the West:
an image of cowboys-n-injuns,
coyotes-n-bears,
guns cocked,
cocks stiff and ready.

And this is the West:
Blackfeet cowboys rustling up steers,
the last bison grazing,
bears scarce, wolves aware
they're not wanted.

While limp cocks-of-the-walk
seek bitches and pussy
in pale tattoo parlors,
the library parking lot,
pink punk rock bars.

Yes, hikers still speak of Wilderness:
the snow blocked pass,
the fire-in-the-woods,
a huckleberry patch.
It's still out there.

And songs still howl about who-left-who
but the beat hops
to an earsplitting screech. Stops
at midnight as drunks remember
they have exams this week.

This too is the West:
a cowgirl finishing her Environmental Studies degree,
a Biker her training to be an EMT.
a Blackfeet her hard earned J.D.

Autumn of Ebola

We sat as far apart as decent,
dared not breathe without our masks.
We whispered, wailed, wondered.
What would come at last?

Crossroads of soil and flesh,
these polluted waters of blood
confuse us, lead us to question doubts
before the storm and the flood.

Bare unaware

Robert floated down the river,
bare ass burning in the sun.
The raft bouncing, slowly moving
with the current, around the rocks.

He slept arms and legs lashed together.
Children pointed at him as he passed.
Under the bridge, head turned, he breathed.
Too bad he'd never wake up.

Shrouded before his time

Gently dab each orifice,
cleanse each unhealed wound,
Rose water, tears anoint him.
He who met untimely doom.

Soft wrap of cotton,
the worm asleep, cocooned
till wings spread and flutter.
Ruth mutters, why? then swoons.

© Kåre Enga 10 October 2014.

I decided to just enter and reserve judgment later. A good thing? It allows me to not waste energy. I need to get stuff on-line here to look at and edit later. Not all of it will be stellar. It needn't be.

This dissonance

Attracted to one, in lust with another,
the bee finds its favorite flower brother,
thinks it has fallen in love.

In Spring when the air warms up,
in Summer as roses bloom,
their fragrance a taste of honey and doom,

when trapped by the changing weather
as dry as the drought on your heather,
no kiss blown my way.

Yet lust and the falling in love,
a Never that bears no fruit, only pain.
I wither then drop to rot in Autumn's rain.

another recent scratching that needs an edit or a haircut or... something. Just posting is an accomplishment!

Emerald Aurora

         for Emily Withnall

Green veils summon eyes
to hear silence deep within
northern melodies, an artic dance,
around this frozen pole:
arpeggios across starlit sky,
decrescendos of pink and orange,
silk that shimmers, speaks her name,
an eternity's caress
of words held close as emeralds.

Dear Emily,
who shimmers now to music of these mystic nights,
who dances?

So it needs work... but better here to see what needs to be done!

Have no idea where these two will go. I put them here to someday edit.

Jesus wept.
Plum bosoms
glistened.

Old maid
on cherry bench;
ice melting.
