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.

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.
