L'aura del campo 'é a lua, é a lua, na quintana dos mortos' ♣ Federico García Lorca ♣ 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.

Eluvium Say skree— say waterfall— but gentler— I am going nowhere, just falling from a height to weather here. See rock, see stone, see crystals glinting back at you. Say you saw my face on the mountain top. Say you see me now. I'm everywhere you look if you look hard enough— or soft enough— or long enough— I'm going nowhere. © Kåre Enga [177.215] (4.september.2020) 17 line free verse For
Soil Science: E Horizon This eluviation (leaching) layer is light in color; this layer is beneath the A Horizon and above the B Horizon. It is made up mostly of sand and silt, having lost most of its minerals and clay as water drips through the soil (in the process of eluviation). In geology, eluvium or eluvial deposits are those geological deposits and soils that are derived by in situ weathering or weathering plus gravitational movement or accumulation. Alluvium (from the Latin alluvius, from alluere, "to wash against") is loose, unconsolidated (not cemented together into a solid rock) soil or sediment that has been eroded, reshaped by water in some form, and redeposited in a non-marine setting. Alluvium is typically made up of a variety of materials, including fine particles of silt and clay and larger particles of sand and gravel. When this loose alluvial material is deposited or cemented into a lithological unit, or lithified, it is called an alluvial deposit. |
Garden of One Thousand Buddhas This womb-between-mountains' numinous kin, one thousand stone buddhas, invite us in. © Kåre Enga [177.214] (4.september.2020) 20σ: 10/10 rhyming couplet or broken into 6/4/6/4. No idea which is better. Numinous: adjective: evincing the presence of a deity Example: "A numinous wood" For:
The Garden of One Thousand Buddhas is in Arlee, Montana, just north of where I live. Notes: could be expanded with more couplets to honor my friend Joyce Chicoine (1930-2020) who loved this place. Due to the pandemic we did not gather on her birthday, July 8th, to spread her ashes. |
