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.

A procrastinator gives thanks every November

I'm grateful for
January, March and December
for giving me extra
days to catch up,
for February that cuts
winter's grief short,
and September to remember
golden autumns past,
and for May when spring's warmth
returns — at last,

and every month
that adds to the years,
hopeful that I may live long enough
to let go of my fears —
and all my stuff.

A prayer of submission

Cut out my tongue if it betrays my heart;
good words mean nothing if my deeds are not.
Allow me to rest at Your feet in submission
for nowhere is peaceful without an admission
that my spirit withers cut off from the Ark
alike the Moon that can't shine should the Sun go dark.

Chest-scape of survival

I wear these tattoos on my chest.
Glare, if you must, where I once had breasts,
not to remind you of what I've lost,
to honor who I am — and still remain.

Stare now at this chest-scape of survival,
the designs I chose to give me hope,
these flowers that you'll never pluck,
this flow of water that you long to touch.

It cools my thoughts as I boldly strut,
my chest bare and proud to defy your pity.
Don't ever berate the choices I've made.
Be thankful — they've led me out of the grave.
