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.

Masked mash

The ghosts of horror movies past
show up at parties wearing masks

for even ghosts dread getting ill
and living guests don't beg the thrill

of dying.

They say one dies but once, but die again?
Enough to become a ghost and then

haunt your friends.

Ghosts' ghoulish stories come-to-life,
their dying screams, those slashing knives,

(the bloody mess)

and bloodier insanity
as each outdoes the other with great glee.

No one hears the door click shut.
No one sees the store-bought robot

pocket the key.

Who screams first or rather who screams last
as ghouls up the volume to a blast...

Let's dance dance dance!

...so nosy neighbors don't notice the knash
of teeth that chomp, the well-aimed slash

among true friends

that gather monthly to prance and scream
to relive horrors of the movie screen.

Me in the mirror

Whisper and leave a message in the air
a gossamer of mist upon the mirror
for in the mansion of my mind I cannot leave;
yet, do not look if you dare not perceive
that like a narcissus I was once like you.

I deceived myself by thinking that I was better,
more fair, more open hearted
until enamored with the lie
I became what now you can only see:
a myth, a maiden, a spectre that resides
behind the glass, pressed by silver at my back,
as thin as your dreams where everything seems
to be what you desire.

Dare not enter my nightmares where I now betide
dark memories that make me shudder,
where I hide the monsters of my own grim making.

Cover me in thick black cloth so I cannot see;
leave me here where I can do no harm;
never touch my hair that dangles
as if to summon you into my lair;
live your life; forget about me.
