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.

Come here boy

Bring me your luscious chocolate smile
and this time stay awhile.
Even if you get me wet
I promise to throw another stick.
So rest here with me for awhile;
slobber over me with that smile,
patient while I fetch your toy,
come here boy.

Perennial

in winter shadows it sleeps between cracks in the walk

in winter shadows dreams of warmth, the light it once knew

in winter shadows, dead to the world, it rests ignored

but even winter must surely pass and shadows fade

as winter melts it stretches and yawns—and grows one leaf

But in the end, a passing thing

The sky remained empty
beyond the crescent moons
as blue shadows passed between us,
as years of nothingness froze over.

All life now hung in balance
in crevices it had sought
as you held me closer,
as if hugs would somehow warm me

until the globe came back,
that glow above the edge of mystery,
as song filled the emptiness,
as I awakened in your arms, still wrapped.

The moons began to fade
forsaking shadows they once had cast
as basking in first light we whispered,
for even darkness must surely pass.

Baskets of lavender

Lori hums,
singing harmony to Montana's melody
as she moves from fragrant clump to clump,
baskets of lavender
filling up.

Her Harley's
ready and leather beckons for a jaunt to town,
fragrant flowers will not sell themselves,
baskets of lavender
now filled up.

Bundles wrapped,
she flings stray hairs away from eyes and wrinkles, as
she grabs her helmet, checks to make sure
her fresh-cut lavender's
securely tucked.

Time enough
at market to sort it out where she'll see her friends,
chat awhile and return home lighter,
bouquets of lavender
all sold out.

malicious muttering,
pernicious hovering
spoils my peace ...

WARNING: This poem reflects the rage I see from some 'white privileged males'.

Muh Freedom

My realm.
My isle.
My electric fence.

And you

on your broomsticks,
peaceniks,
love hicks,

kept on the other side.

I defend what's mine.

Within my bailiwick
life is a picnic
and you're not invited.

Keep your

chopsticks
deer ticks
horse dicks

to yourselves

unless you want to feel my nightstick.

         —then—
                             I'll gladly oblige.

Black poplar rising

The Balm of Gilead1 points to the sky
as it bids its angels goodbye.
They're off to fly on wings of cotton,
their innocence forgotten once they find new homes,
taking root wherever there's a trickle of water
to aim new shoots for the sky
that guide the weary traveler across this arid land.
For where there's a black poplar rising
there's a place to rest
and in the shade a place to search for water
or, too weary to carry on, lift expectant eyes
to empty skies and seek ascension.

Interlude

One harp harkens through cold black/white starkness,
soothing catharsis
of the crimson bursts of blood and ire.
