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.

There comes a softening...

...to the mouth
when licked by puppies,
touched by laughs
when a baby
can no longer
hold the grimace
thin, stretched, shut
gas must part the lips
and round the corners,
smile.

© Kåre Enga [171.Q1] December 2014.

There comes a softening...

to sore feet
when soaked in slats
or merely placed
upon a stool
massaged by oils
and probing fingers
warm appendages
of a giving heart.

© Kåre Enga [171.Q2] December 2014.

There comes a softening...

to this flag
when winds go limp
and its stiffened form,
worn out
by wafts of blowhards
welcomes that certain silence
of common sense,
a surviving testament
that whines and wails
do not prevail.

© Kåre Enga [171.Q3] 17 December 2014.

There comes a softening...

...to clear skies
when clouds move in
...and to the rocky hills
when snow descends
like dandruff
from my balding head
bare to all the sky decrees,
burning, cold or wet.

For you short story writers, read "Character is more important than achievement. Joy has great advice.

There comes a softening...

...to coconuts
when tossed by waves
and beach-abandoned
root in sand
or muck
to push up sprouts...

...or when sliced, scooped out
cover up her tits.

(for Jaime Bach)

There comes a softening...

...of the wood
when gnawed by beetles
becomes the forest's rot
then melts to mushrooms.

© Kåre Enga [171.R2] December 2014.

There comes a softening...

...to my skull
each time a blow connects
to scramble brain cells,
a battering
that slow by slow
robs me of my sanity
and shortens days.

My head hangs low
but not in shame.
It counts the hours
blow by blow.

Minutes matter most
when what remains
sifts through silent thoughts...
that in a second go.

© Kåre Enga [171.R3] 15.December.2014.

There comes a softening...

...to hard eyes
when a child
catches her first fish
and then releases it.

But first her awe
at liquid sunshine
then squeamishness
as blood squirts from her finger.

She's hooked
like her emerald prize,
now sparkling with diamonds
as she gentle lets it go.

There comes a softening...

...to grey clouds
wrung of rain
that wisp across
cold dry terrain
that begs for what
they cannot give
having given all
and more.

© Kåre Enga [171.S1] 11.diciembre.2014

There comes a softening...

...to old books
when spines are spent,
pages yellowed,
stained and bent.

What wisdom
have they given
Ages Past
and yet still give.

© Kåre Enga [171.S2] 12.diciembre.2014

There comes a softening...

...to sore lips
when balm is spread
and then removed
by lingering kiss...

...that dare not stray
past yearning flesh,
remaining a smile
for what's been missed!

© Kåre Enga [171.S3] 12.diciembre.2014

There comes a softening...

..to cantucci
when dunked in milk
by a five year old
waiting for father's voice...

...while sirens scream a mile away:
fire, a body trapped, burnt flesh,
a wreckage of a speeding car
that won't reach home.

The side door opens
this stormy night
to whoops and hugs
while father's raincoat drips.

But...
in another house...
two cookies wait;
a child sits.

© Kåre Enga [171.S4] 13.diciembre.2014
Note: cantucci (canTOOCH) is a biscotti.
