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.

Flora circa 1888

Flora tended her garden
petunias, daisies her thrall
each planted for their beauty
or fragrance they waft over all.

She planted bulbs in autumn
picked bouquets come early spring
in summer hunted for berries,
by autumn canned everything.

All winter she sat by the fireplace,
spread jam on oven fresh bread,
inhaled the fragrant rose petals,
flourished while others dropped dead.

Navigating the shallows

Wending her way through shallows,
weeping willows caressed her arms
as she watched an osprey fish
while grey skies promised rain.
"I wish." She prayed that harm
would never come to roost among
the swaying branches, that pain
would wait for some other day;
her arms felt leaden, her lungs
ready to return to clay, the pole
hung heavy. As she turned and saw
a rainbow, she lifted her face
to receive a cleansing, the hole
in her heart slowly sealing
as a fish broke the surface
sending ripples racing towards shoals,
and a shimmer of hope her way.

“Dazy Hell”

Dazy, Dazy, allow me to nip your bud.
I’m half crazy for th' iron in your blood.
It won’t be a longish huggin'.
I must cut short my clubbin',
         'fore dawn bleeds red,
         asleep in bed
in a casket fit for a stud.

Mikey, Mikey, here is your answer true.
I’m not crazed to be stuck forever with you.
I'm cloaked in silver and garlic
flesh rubbed to give you colic
         ‘Cuz no one pecks
         upon my neck
in a casket built just for you.

Sit next to the fire, as close as you dare

         a solstice villanesque

Sit next to the fire, as close as you dare
as beacons are lit to beckon the dawn.
Snuggle with me to dispel the chill air.

Don't pout about how this life's so unfair,
weighing the yeas and nays, the pros, the cons;
just, sit next to the fire, close as you dare.

Forget about others who stare and glare.
Think only of my shoulder as you yawn.
Snuggle with me to dispel the chill air.

No matter the mosquitoes, don't be scared.
Be happy and joyful; be not withdrawn.
Sit next to my fire, as close as you dare,

knowing that I'll always take the best care
of you, my love, take refuge in my brawn.
Snuggle with me to dispel the chill air

and to banish the cobwebs of despair.
I'll protect your heart, for what's gone is gone.
Snuggle with me to dispel the chill air.
Sleep next to my fire, as close as you dare.
