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.

Orange eye squinting, we worship the Moon

Orange eye squinting between branches
trying to hold on
reluctant to go

promising to turn everything false gold
before you swoon and fall
behind your horizon

Far from your zenith you keep your own council
your flickering flame,
your dying embers

We worship the Moon, its gentle reflection,
its calm meditation, how it doesn't burn
while guiding us through the night.

Good riddance

The East Wind waves goodbye.
You're old, you're feeble, you're no longer welcome.
Your glow fades from green to yellow to golden dun.
You no longer light the mountainside.

It's the Solstice.

Wiil you come back tomorrow?
Will you dim as you wander south?

Go. Bring us back the night
and cloak of darkness.

You'll be missed by many,
but the East Wind is not your slave
and the bonds that bind us
will be shattered.

Goodbye.
The East Wind waves.
Good riddance.

O Fiery Ball from Hell

Go hide behind those grey curtains,
you fiery Ball from Hell.
Good riddance.
You have no shame for the Life you wither.
Go thither...
somewhere where they worship your flame.

Perhaps Oregon.
Moss covered, shrouded by dark pines.

Just...
don't torch them.

Tonight you glow brilliant.
But we all know your game.

Across the galaxy your brethren
burn with no shame.

Complaints to the swallows

You seek to fool us with your radiance, adding a golden glow to the thirsty hills, the glistening river's ripples, as if we're deaf to the rapid's roar.

We will forgive you if you raise your voice in thunder. Storm on us rather than leave us to die in the dust.

Oh... do what you must. You'll show back up at Dawn no matter how much we complain to the swallows... or the empty sky.

Keep your word

Oh Wind, if only you'd cool my room instead of freezing me whilst I sit by the open window. Your clouds promise rain. For whom? I want no promises blown about by a careless breeze. Give me an answer. Keep your word. Or keep blowing eastward — where you may do some good.

Kayakers surf

All gone except the shredded rags in the north embroidered in peach. You're beyond my reach, as quiet as the cooling calm, as distant.

Kayakers still surf waves as Twilight descends. No rush. Summer days stretch, doing their yoga for hours. It's still light enough on the river. Even the glow of the globe long set still lingers.

Let them have their fun! Summer has just begun.

Doing laundry at Sparkles

Your head rises into the stratosphere, white haired and unruly. You turn grey at your base, a dark omen glowering. They tell me to ignore you. But I know your kind. You'll promise to go away then pommel us with hailstones. I never trust those who hold their heads so high.

I must say...

you got rid of your acne

until your friend hid behind the horizon

tinting your blotches a golden yellow

making Mt. Jumbo blush in peach

while you hid your blemishes

with a bank of grey to the west.

Do what's best.

May the soft night air clear your skin.

May you dawn with a fresh face.

May we all live to see it.

Let them know it was never about them

I look up at the blue globe in the MT sky,
see your eyes and a golden ring around it.

If you were calm skies and I was the earth,
then they were the storms that came between us.

I told Sunset about you

Sunset hid behind your clouds but I knew she was listening. I told her about how you lit up my days with the mere echo of your voice, your face fading over time until only your radiant smile remained.

Perhaps what can't be said in this lifetime was forged in the past or will be revealed in the next. Only Dawn will know after this short night. Give her my love.
