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.

Doing laundry at Sparkles

Your head rises into the stratosphere, white haired and unruly. You turn grey at your base, a dark omen glowering. They tell me to ignore you. But I know your kind. You'll promise to go away then pommel us with hailstones. I never trust those who hold their heads so high.

I must say...

you got rid of your acne

until your friend hid behind the horizon

tinting your blotches a golden yellow

making Mt. Jumbo blush in peach

while you hid your blemishes

with a bank of grey to the west.

Do what's best.

May the soft night air clear your skin.

May you dawn with a fresh face.

May we all live to see it.

Let them know it was never about them

I look up at the blue globe in the MT sky,
see your eyes and a golden ring around it.

If you were calm skies and I was the earth,
then they were the storms that came between us.

I told Sunset about you

Sunset hid behind your clouds but I knew she was listening. I told her about how you lit up my days with the mere echo of your voice, your face fading over time until only your radiant smile remained.

Perhaps what can't be said in this lifetime was forged in the past or will be revealed in the next. Only Dawn will know after this short night. Give her my love.

Pineapple upside down cake

O vile excuse
for acid indigestion
dumped from tin cans
disguised by batter.

Oh, I'm battered
by bad memories
of luscious yellow cake
destroyed by pineapple.

© Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.147] (20.juni.2021)

I didn't realize that pineapple could be sweet and wonderful until many years later. Tin cans destroyed many foods for me growing up. Mashed mushy miserable minced pineapple was the worse. I was crushed.

Serenade to me at age 10

You raised me in a world limited
to a small box of 8 stubby crayons,
a world defined by blue and red,
red and pink for girls and blue for me;
but Shelley loved dark blue velvet
and I loved Mickey's big box of wax,
drawing Percival's heraldic shield
in melon and sea green.

You dressed me in navy until I rebelled.
My color was orange but orange did not exist
for boys. I picked out clothes in brown and green.
I knew by 10 that I was different,
that no teacher could teach me how
to hold a pencil or tie my shoe laces.
I yearned for my own box of crayons.

Now I can afford the biggest box
and define myself any way I choose.

I look out at the same old Sun that set
a thousand yesterdays, marvel at the hues,
how burnt orange and bittersweet now streak
across a sea of midnight blue.

Fearless

gun to the head
or so he said
no time to be scared
as time stood still while driving
pulling into the cop shop
honking the horn
no one peered out
coulda been shot
wasn't
no time for reacting
no time for regrets
no time for fear

When a moment lasts a lifetime

A moth decides to stay and dies between the window panes.
A moth decides to fly to be quickly swallowed by a swift.

I stayed.
I left.

Zig zag zig zag zig...

And here I sadly rest.
Too old to care at best.

You scream,

Why can't you decide!

as if
as if

I have a choice
when I must choose

to sit between the window panes
or be swallowed by a swift.

Note: I have high anxiety that peaks when I can't make a decision... like this last week... but revisiting that isn't how I write. I shake when I'm overly anxious. I writebest when I'm depressed or awed.

Mute

Before sunset,
before moonrise,
when storm clouds cry,
I think of you

always smiling
like morning dew.
I have no clue
what magic spins

from your wand's end;
you laugh wherein
you make me grin,
or smirk, or gush.

It's not easy
to hide my lust
for the stardust
caught in your hair.

I do not speak.
I never share.
I do not dare
to mouth my thoughts.
