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.

Ovi for Pan

June. I welcome cooling moonbeams,
inhaling strawberry ice cream
that I've sprinkled with ovaltine.
Should I leave some for you?

I scrape this ceramic bowl clean,
it's not that I mean to be mean.
You lie there absorbed by your dreams
and sleep unaware.

Ovi for Pan

In June I welcomed cold moonbeams,
inhaling strawberry ice cream
sprinkled with malted ovaltine.
Should I have left some for you?

I scraped the ceramic bowl clean;
it's not that I meant to be mean.
You lay there absorbed by your dreams
and slept unaware.

Monochrome in indigo

all color removed except for blue
this nighttime gift of shame you left me
towers I cannot climb
supplications declined
emotions that never set me free

here in the city
surrounded by millions
I shake all alone

Impatiens

I planted them every summer,
an oval of soft pink against
a backdrop of sage-green cedar.
They mirrored my youthful struggle
to be patient — I waited.
You never responded — should
I have chosen firecrackers,
rainbow explosions of color.

In Sousse-Massa

They climb trees. They eat fruit,
s*** and spit the nuts,
that we collect, that we press
into argan oil put on your face.

Rake the ground then comb your hair.
No woman's an atoll when goats
must be tended; no man's a reef
where women tend to them.

I would walk away.
I would say little.
Nothing if I could.

Don't want your crumbs.
I'm not so dumb.
I'm not your chum.

Stultify, nullify,
justify, petrify.

Good guy?
Bad guy?
Bye-bye!
Should I

stay?
No!

Run,
run,
run.

In their worlds of morality, venality, normality,
we dare not show exceptionality or illumine their mediocrity.

In perfect worlds of better and best
we unbelievers forage for crumbs, along with the rest,

yet refuse to invest in their insufferable totality.

HERE LIES A QUEER

         after Amanda Gorman

That hill we die on will be blood stained
with the miscarriage of justice,
just us breaking through the silence
for those muted by dogmatic bigotry,
that gift from generations bound
by hatred and fear. Hear us
when we say queer. Hear us
when we shout queer. Bury us
with the epitaph HERE LIES A QUEER.
We will clap back from the graveyard.

Kåre Enga [180.44] (25.mai.2023)

10 lines free verse

"Poet Amanda Gorman spoke out after her poem The Hill We Climb, which she recited at President Joe Biden's presidential inauguration, was removed from an elementary school in Miami-Dade County, Florida."

Write me a political limerick?

Sure.

Lord Caoimhín O'Lim'rick's quite lucky.
Saint Ronnie O'Disney's just duckie.
         They went to Time's Square
         where sat in despair,
Don Juannie the twice loser suck-me.

What about Joe Biden?

Joe's not bad, just cheugy.

Breakfast's at Eight

Spill beans into a bowl, then let them soak.
Wash the rice, remove the stones.
Chop cilantro, carrots, onions, peppers, add a yolk.
Cook when daybreak dawns. Don't eat alone.
Invite your family, friends and folk. Puts flesh on bones.

Elegy in sepia

Gone, all gone
to the gutless and greedy,
no need to reach out
to the wandering sky
once roots are wrenched from paradise.

Even the color,
reduced to stark black and white,
now fades to sepia.
