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.

Day of the Dead

         November 1, 2020

Quentin put his red shoes on...
and added glitter.
If he was going to dance with David
all night long
he'd need more than an attitude...
so lots of glitter.

He sang.

         Let's sway
         until my ankles bend.
         Let's pray
         that this night doesn't end


before the morning

glitter in your hair
glitter everywhere

before I put my red shoes back on
before my Muse wakes up

and tells me this is but a dream.

         Let them say,
         quit making a scene!
         I'll say
         I'm your dancing queen!


then shower them with glitter

for even a queen
is entitled to her dreams

for even the dead
deserve their own night out

with glitter
lots of glitter in their hair.

"Let's Dance"

Let's dance
Put on your red shoes
And dance the blues

Let's dance
To the song they're playin' on the radio

Put on your red shoes
While color lights up your face
Let's sway
Sway through the crowd to an empty space

If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let's dance
Let's dance

Let's dance for fear your grace should fall
Let's dance for fear tonight is all

Let's sway
You could look into my eyes
Let's sway under the moonlight,
This serious moonlight

And if you say run, I'll run with you
And if you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let's dance
Let's dance

Let's dance
Put on your red shoes
And dance the blues

Let's dance to the song they're playin' on the radio

Let's sway under the moonlight,
This serious moonlight

[Repeat until the end:]
Let's dance
Let's sway
