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.

I catch the glow that doesn't know it's shifting from gold to orange on the edge of twilight. It's westward bound, an elder hound. I'm sighing.

Another liminal space I must traverse to call it mine for fleeting moments and new-found memories. I stash them where the sun can't burn them.

The flag has turned its back and the river churns as the traffic churns crossing by the bridge above it. Everyone but me going somewhere.

Even the glow abandons me until the dawn as the night pulls down its shade.

         orange flickers
         at twilight's edge — the night
         pulls down its shade

By the window

One star twinkles at twilight as he searches for the one you wished upon — waiting to hear its answer. As the glow slips below the silhouetted branches and the alpenglow slides up cold mountain slopes to the pine-green treeline the cooling breeze whispers names. He listens for yours roaring down the canyon, sprinting from the east, past the landing's window, sunset bound.

         the big star
         sets — the old man sits
         by the window

A serenade - at evening.
A gzaibun - haibunish form.

Or... "the old man dies by the window"

Invitation

         for Bri

an invitation for pizza — ham and tomato on flat bread —
we talk about coffee — the cafe life we used to lead —
how the plague hit and the stone was rolled in front of our cave —
how we struggled within our coccoon — hands tied, feet tied, voice
hushed — we try to burst out in buds, blossom to greet the spring, but
— a year of darkness reminds us that nothing will be as before —
and what was lost will never return — we sit at the table —
pizza in hand — the fragrance of coffee wafting its warmth

Serenade

We see cloud linings
as if they're cotton,
as if they're hung above us
like a blanket
to keep us safe and snug
upon the ground
as the flapping flag makes muted sounds;
but, through the dirty window,
I can only hear it waving
to the setting sun.

Grain sifts

Grain sifts between soft fingers —
time lifts warm seas;
between cold mountain ridges —
life boldly clings.

Forget how once you hurt me —
regrets won't heal;
by morning light remember —
when mourning me.

Evening coffee

Vermilion streaks stretch west to east
as thoughts fade from blue to puce to gunmetal.
My evening coffee cools
as I travel to Thailand, Taiwan, taking the bridge
that spans the river that flows beneath me.
It races towards the setting sun as if
it will flow forever. I take another sip
as if I have eternity to savor it.

Minus your ink

Minus your ink
this page becomes a palimpsest
to receive new joys and tears.

Minus my scribbles
there is no story, no need to stray
beyond the edges of reality.

Minus our future
there is no need, no need.

Sky clock

Someone once lived here seeking water
where there was only dust,
and fed themselves by the sweat of their labor
and the crap shoot of luck.

Then rains stopped or the children grew up
and gold returned to rust;
but, the windmill kept recording the seasons
of what is and was once.

Delta

         to participate

We were mere droplets
brought together in clouds
that shrouded mountains.
We fell from grace,
gaining speed in rivulets
that joined to cascade
in waterfalls and rapids.
We became complacent
as land flattened out
and we meandered
as if there were no tomorrow.
Now we have entered the delta
spread apart by time and distance
searching for each other.
Soon our journey will be over
united again by the seashore
perhaps to rejoin the clouds.

Ulpiana beckons

I'm as conflicted as Kosovo,
constricted by history and heritage
to consume myself, leaving nothing
but crumbs among ruins.

Under Serbian cornfields
shards of Rome rest to be uncovered
as if peace could be discovered
between the bombs and besa of Albanians.

I feel passion tearing me to pieces.
I have always been content with crumbs. (I've always survived/lived off of crumbs)

© Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.69] (27.prill/Април.2021)

I have a flag of Kosovo on my kitchen counter. I look at it and wish I were there. There are many places, so many places to visit that I'll never visit; yet, I have been blessed.
