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.

Either way

When Death comes calling I will smile
hand outstretched to walk awhile
and then — oblivion;

but,

if perchance I wake once more
may Life come joyful to my door
I'll gladly — make amends.

Branches raised bare fingers
to thirsty skies as
blossoms burst to outshine Death.

They fell like golden raindrops
to adorn the dust.

Nothing living could compare.
No topaz dared.

To Ngalis their message was clear.
Leave now or join them.

It sleets for thee

I think that I shall never hear
this poem that I hold most dear

or see the raven in a tree,
that caws, "if not for them... for thee".

And shall I dare repeat, repeat:
tomorrow's forecast rains sleet?

And do eyes blear before High Tea,
like Frost's, forever rest-in-sleep.

aa, bb, cc with abc in the last stanza similar to a sestina. *Smile* If sestina means basket, is this a bitty-baby-baskenette?

Earlier version:

It sleets for thee

I think that I shall never hear
a poem that I hold most dear

or see the raven in a tree,
that caws, "if not for thee... for thee".

And shall I dare repeat, repeat:
tomorrow's forecast rains sleet?

Do mine eyes blear before High Tea,
like Frost's, forever rest-in-sleep.

"WE BETTER TALK THIS OVER" by Bob Dylan:

But I don't think it's liable to happen
Like the sound of one hand clappin'.


"Yappin' in the Octopus's Garden"

My arms be flappin'
My thoughts zappin'
You ask "What's happenin'?"

My lips be chappin'
Cold winds slappin'
Winter's what's maddenin'.

Come join me nappin'
my eight arms wrappin'
'round you, no longer sad.

This is my fervent wish:
I wish I were a fish.
Served on a porcelain platter
next to a knish.

I know you love potatoes.
I know you love me too.
Yes, I know I'm dandyish.
I'm your favorite dish.

Swallows swirl.
Flowers fluff their frills.
I twirl

round and round,
a lonesome hound
house bound.

More can be said?
The Past lies dead.
My name ain't Fred!

Words take flight
as I turn on lights
for whom I write.

I left my chained captivity.
Escaped yo' sweet toxicity.
Keep it for yo'self.

Gimme collectivity.
Add responsibility.
Naïveté? Non.

Don't need no negativity.
Don't want yo' positivity.
Keep it to yo'self.

Exponentiality
and quantifiability
can ne'er excuse

your toxic positivity.

So, keep it to yo'self

Title at the end to be a tad more creative. My friend Alfred often does this.

Dark is the color of my true love's heart

Dark is the color of my true love's heart,
thrumming each time I cry in despair
and if I smile it skips a beat;
it's unbearably unfair.

Counting chimes at midnight
I intone my prayers,
recite blessings,
quivering,

sigh —
"beware".

Alley cat

I huddle behind the blue dumpster,
afraid of shadows that shout my name,
then creep away when the way lies clear
whispering to bricks that do not blame
thoughts of fleeing, my cowardly crawl
to safety where bright lights do not glow,
exposing inner and outer flaws.
There darkness embraces all — yet knows.

8 lines of 9 syllables, xaxa/xbxb rhyme? but x lines are near rhymes as well.

Earlier version:

In the alley

I huddle behind the blue dumpster,
afraid of shadows that shout my name,
then creep away when the way lies clear
whispering to bricks that do not blame
thoughts for fleeing, my cowardly crawl
to safety where bright lights do not glow
to expose inner and outer flaws.
There darkness embraces all — and knows.
