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.

Stolen from Joy and her "The Windmills of Your Mind

"Windmills of the Mind" is the stolen prompt. In part:

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
Or the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair?

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind”


The basic rhythm is 8/7/8/7 with a rhyme scheme of xaxa. To my ear, the first line's meter is is: --/---/- with the second --/---/; or basically --/---/---/---/.

My derived poem:


It's for myself I weep

         for Kevin

When I knew that it was over
was I suddenly aware
that the autumn leaves were fading
like the color of your hair?

Did I realize that nightmares
would replace my fondest dreams?
Was it all just some illusion
in the shadow of moonbeams?

And now that I've awakened
after years of restless sleep,
in the quiet of the morning
is it for myself I weep?

And does it really matter
you were once my closest friend,
that once you pledged your love to me?
For that shall never end!

Though memories have faded
and now darkness snuffs the light,
in the heart of who I've since become
you shine there young and bright
