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.

Water

Glistening you slid over shoulders
slipped between fingers and toes
soothed the sunburn that smoldered
dripped from the tip of her nose.

You mirrored her face in cold puddles,
tinkled from high waterfalls,
cleansed her thoughts that were muddled,
gave her her Life above all.

Strawberry moonlight

Moments before you burst out in flames, spread your dying embers across the mountains and plains, I sit in vigil waiting for the clouds to be aroused by your Midas touch, wait knowing it's been years since I've touched you — once. Slowly the topaz reaches out to the one I love, slowly gold rays follow, and now rubies hang their ornaments as amethyst stretches west to east, where now you sleep.

Look up! Look up to receive the message I send by Strawberry moonlight.

A dance in peach and puce

You make me squint again, as if I'd see you better if I put my glasses on; but, even then, long years ago, I couldn't see you.

You shone too bright, your breath too hot, my pulsing heart erratic and about to burst. Better to wait for the Mistress of the Night. Her heart of stone might stay cold but would she burn me? No.

Now you start you nightly show. The sky's your stage. I ponder whether I should watch your celestial dance in peach and puce until you pucker and fade.

On the Sunset Viewing Bridge

You scorched us,
now you try to make up,
all kissy kissy
in a blaze of color.

You lip the clouds
as orange ripples
turn red with delight.

Cameras record the sight
as we bat away the bugs.

On the sunset viewing bridge
we wait for you to bid good night.
We wait and watch and wait.

Orange eye squinting, we worship the Moon

Orange eye squinting between branches
trying to hold on
reluctant to go

promising to turn everything false gold
before you swoon and fall
behind your horizon

Far from your zenith you keep your own council
your flickering flame,
your dying embers

We worship the Moon, its gentle reflection,
its calm meditation, how it doesn't burn
while guiding us through the night.

Good riddance

The East Wind waves goodbye.
You're old, you're feeble, you're no longer welcome.
Your glow fades from green to yellow to golden dun.
You no longer light the mountainside.

It's the Solstice.

Wiil you come back tomorrow?
Will you dim as you wander south?

Go. Bring us back the night
and cloak of darkness.

You'll be missed by many,
but the East Wind is not your slave
and the bonds that bind us
will be shattered.

Goodbye.
The East Wind waves.
Good riddance.

O Fiery Ball from Hell

Go hide behind those grey curtains,
you fiery Ball from Hell.
Good riddance.
You have no shame for the Life you wither.
Go thither...
somewhere where they worship your flame.

Perhaps Oregon.
Moss covered, shrouded by dark pines.

Just...
don't torch them.

Tonight you glow brilliant.
But we all know your game.

Across the galaxy your brethren
burn with no shame.

Complaints to the swallows

You seek to fool us with your radiance, adding a golden glow to the thirsty hills, the glistening river's ripples, as if we're deaf to the rapid's roar.

We will forgive you if you raise your voice in thunder. Storm on us rather than leave us to die in the dust.

Oh... do what you must. You'll show back up at Dawn no matter how much we complain to the swallows... or the empty sky.

Keep your word

Oh Wind, if only you'd cool my room instead of freezing me whilst I sit by the open window. Your clouds promise rain. For whom? I want no promises blown about by a careless breeze. Give me an answer. Keep your word. Or keep blowing eastward — where you may do some good.

Kayakers surf

All gone except the shredded rags in the north embroidered in peach. You're beyond my reach, as quiet as the cooling calm, as distant.

Kayakers still surf waves as Twilight descends. No rush. Summer days stretch, doing their yoga for hours. It's still light enough on the river. Even the glow of the globe long set still lingers.

Let them have their fun! Summer has just begun.
