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.

Free to soar the caged bird sings

Let it go. Life is not an end in itself, only an adventure that like all good things must end. Protect your soul on its journey but release the cage it is bound to once it has become useless. We all return to our Source.

for one hundred
years—same sweet melody
same apple branch

One lane highway

Avoid traffic. Become a nightowl in a village of farmers, a farmer in a landscape of highrises, a highrise on a distant moon. Not everything is earthbound. Before you were born — neither were you.

the Highway
to Damnation—clogged from
so many souls

Find your own sacred path back Home.

One cannot live on lies alone

With difficulty, scan the headlines and try not to cry. The truth isn't there. Read further to unleash whatever modicum of wisdom lies hidden among the noxious weeds and inedible crumbs.

Apricot buds in April

When apricot buds burst forth and snow is in the forecast, no amount of prayer will guarantee fruit come harvest-time if they aren't covered up. One could lament about the weather — or plant apples instead.

In our cerulean nightmares

In Darkness we curse
Light for having abandoned
us. Deep in cold caves
we huddle with wolves
while bears sleep.
For how many years of winter
have we held on. For whom
do we weep. We are silenced
by the undaunted visage
of Cerberus, his cerulean
eyes staring through us.

Summer of '76

I was green
corn, green wheat, flaxen
haired in an orange shirt cutting
shattercane in Kansas. Like vinho verde,
a bit tart, like a green apple, a bit
sour, but innocent and kinda
sweet (so they told me).
Green defined
me. Now
some old muddled
hue, I wish to be plaid:
the red of rage, the yellow of joy,
the deep brooding blues, the passion
of orange. And green,
most definitely
green,
back working
the fields of Nemaha County.

In our rocking chairs

Rock away the ruins
of this morning's cobwebs.
Replenish the reliquary
of the mind. Rock against rock
until the relics arise. Reclaim,
revision the brambles
that we find. Among the crumbs
of remembrance — rock on.

The Other America

We lick our wounds
hoping to heal, like a dog-
pack protect our weak pups
from the "great leader" who picks
at our scabs, bleeds us
to death, scars us slowly
with a thousand cruel cuts
unrepenting.

Unrelenting,
we huddle in orchards
once know as paradise,
hide under scorched pears
and bruised plums,
a pack of scared people,
like dented cans of peaches,
weeping along the seams.

Limpan

Sweet bread of my childhood
not dark sour pumpernickel,
nor a caraway-seeded poser,
it was orange rind and dark molasses,
pale rye mixed and molded,
left to rise: Limpan.
My Swedish family knew its proper
name. Spread with butter, enough
to keep hope alive that my roots
hadn't withered and that someday I'd
bake my own loaf of Swedish rye.

Spring bursts yellow

When long days
follow the sun back north,
and cold dark pine
pierces cold bright white:

Hear the silent tinkling
of yellow-bells! Touch
a shy umbrella of biscuit-
root! Smell buttercups
gleaming in a seep
of mud! Cry for a weep
of misted daffodils
nodding in rain!

After dark pine
pierces cold bright
white—spring bursts
yellow in Montana.
