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.

Windpump

The metallic dandelion clock
stands derelict to it's duty
next to the abandoned drive-in diner parking lot.
So much waste
on the plains of Kansas,
once fertile prairies scarred by concrete slabs
and plastic straws
in a haste to mine all assets,
to prime the pump of plenty,
increase the flow of paper bucks —
lest the future be dammed
as all returns to the poverty of dust.

Longest night

By her bed holding hands,
beseeching any god
who'd listen — halcyons
calming each gasping wheeze.

I was raised with the adjective but the noun is more interesting imho.

halcyon (noun): a mythical bird said to breed at the time of the winter solstice in a nest floating on the sea and to have the power of calming the winds and waves

Opera at midnight

A fox chases a rabbit
across an ebony field
intent on supper
until an owl wings its flight
joining the chase while arrows fly
from the Night-Hunter's quiver,
he-who-strolls-amid-moonbeams,
as his canine yaps
in the language of stars,
so soft ... like a whisper ...
till a

CLAP

of thunder
awakens the audience
and skies weep with delight.

Solo for moon and water

On the frozen river bank,
a sliver of moon above it adrift,
chimes descend like a trance
to shimmer the bridge of memory
that dances like midges
moving to the sway of a drifter
that clings to rocks in meditation,
sings to transcend the key of D,
to free her of this rime that binds
as arpeggios climb and lift her high
enough to break away from locks
that shackle her to this place and time.

Alfred Hitchcock's warning

Deny what you abhor.
Hide behind closet doors.
Move quick to Ecuador.

Horror always follows.

Green pancakes

Dad, add mint and hope — to dispel the stench
of last night's snores — that raspy voice of dreams,
mix in milk to make it creamy — bananas
to give some substance — baking powder
to fluff it up — pour on a hot griddle,
flip when done — a feast for Sunday morning's
breakfast — then lick the plate clean when finished;
but I beg — please leave some for your monkey.
