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.

In my galaxy

To exist in my galaxy,
faint stardust coalescing into ice and fire,
the stuff we're made of
--backbone, bloodstone--
be my friend
and let my embers stoke your laughter,
becoming a beacon of hope at night.
If I could keep your joy in a bottle,
I'd still let you go.
For me, to exist in my galaxy
I need to know—
that you're free, Zmitri,
and somewhere out there.

Beside you

It was after everything burned blue,
long after life had turned to dust
when only light and darkness ruled
and all that was left of justice
was just us.

I remember that day Zmitri,
how we held hands until we froze
gazing out at nothingness to see
the dangerous paths we'd chosen.
We'd show them!

Yet now cold spheres again align;
skies sparkle with a bluish hue.
Wherever you are these same moons shine
but I'd rather hold hands beside you,
beside you.

Explaining to Jennifer:

A woman gathers all she loves around her and loves all she has gathered, worthy or no. But a man's love is a lonely hunter, and no matter how much he holds, he hunts for more. For the man who loves must be pitied. He desires to be liked like a simile; he travels a lonely metaphor. As hunter, he expects to be hunted or gathered, embraced or adored. But men grow old at a very young age as they huddle from reality or hide from war. For a man is a lonely hunter... always in search for more.

After reading "A Woman's Love" written by Jennifer Finley. No idea what to do with it at this moment, but I put it here to contemplate and rework.

I walk alone

I went begging for love.
I never believed that you would find me.
You never did.

Could it become part of a longer piece?

The Friend

We go to the gallery to see fine art,
but you'd rather be free to ride your bike

or skate over ice that glistens in sun
than stand by my side, so bored beyond tears.

I peer at paintings while you try not to yawn
We need to leave but then I see it:

Behold an orange tabby, a glittering fish,
a gold-flaked moment like a still-life by Klimt.

Behold, I beg; be still, behold!
But then you turn to me and smile

and all beams golden, golden, golden
before we have to go.

Swinging on her star

Smoke wafts
through the congested void
between a million separate worlds.
A little girl
feels their pull
and cannot sleep. Awake,
she jumps right up
and skips right down to her swing
to gaze at skies aglow with her best friends' moons.
Their spheres
sing celestial lullabies until she yawns
when guided by her attic's light she climbs back home
to bed.

Angels at the Masquerade

Behind the mask
another mask
outer layers
that obscure the inner form
protect the inner being
fool us into thinking
we have seen
reality
just what they wants us to see
not the frail angels posing
as some fearful fighter
at the masquerade

Stories of stone

What stories stones could tell
of ancient laborers so long gone,
even their ghosts have left.
The stones remain. Hard bones
of someone's bent ambition,
placed or raised to repel the ravages
of change, millennia after
they've been forgotten. Those frail creatures,
those land-bound laborers, eyes gazing
at heights they longed to reach,
short-lived, their dream of leaving
a legacy for endless time. Yet,
even stones must die. Not yet,
whisper unlit lamps and empty streets.
Not yet, respond the darkened windows.
Prideful towers echo: not yet, not yet.

Children of Ra

It's time. They hobble under the waxing Sun,
their skin cold-hardened, turned to stone.
They whisper through cracked lips: soon, soon —
a quiet chorus, to entice the Orb's
return, entrap it with their nets, to tap
its rays, feel warmth return to depths within.
It's time. It's time. Their crescendo begins
to crack their outer skin. Inner embers lit,
they blaze anew. Sloughing lifeless sheaths,
eyes glow and supple arms rise to praise their Sun.
They beam, beacons of a New Age that's begun.

Children of Ra

It's time. They hobble under the waxing Sun,
their skin cold-hardened, turned to stone.
They barely whisper through cracked lips, soon,
soon, in a quiet chorus meant to entice the Orb's
return, to entrap it with their nets, to tap its rays,
to feel warmth enter the depths within.
It's time. It's time. Their crescendo begins
to crack their outer skin. Their inner embers lit,
they blaze anew. Casting off their lifeless hide,
they raise faces, supple arms, to praise their Sun.
They begin to glow as a new Age has begun.
