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.

After sunset twilight comes

with a hush as winds go still,
then the deathly hours that follow
after the belltower tolls
— — — — — —
daily chores now done,
there's no sight, no sound,
as the snowy owl keeps watch
while everyone sleeps —
till breaking into our dreams,
creep soft soothing snores.

The dance of autumn leaves

The time has come; the body's fed;
in a blink the child within has fled
yet stares at wrinkles, hides my meds.
I'm lost without my memories,

that twirl within my head!
reside where I can't see!
like wisps of fog now shred
like shadows of the dead.


and so I'm left with these instead:
a cozy corner with my tea;
a slice of pumpkin pie? Yes, please;
the shuffle dance of autumn leaves

that swirl around my head
that land where I can't see,
cold wisps of fog now shred,
mere shadows of the dead.

Anarchy

This is how it started:
         a ring of stones,
         cold bare earth,
         a campfire lit
meant to shed some light,
some warmth,
some heat,

         enough to boil water,
         brew the coffee,
         steep the tea,
enough to awaken this world
that preferred to sleep.

And this how it ended:
         an errant scrap of paper
         lit then borne aloft
         carried on the wind
to where the waiting tinder glowered,
welcomed its glow
its light, its power

         to fire the imagination of the angry world,
         enough to burn it up,

enough to burn it down.

PPC#19 As the sky lowers [257] (dream dust)

As the sky lowers

Dreamdust sifted over embers —
a desperate attempt
to assuage the dying fire.
Oh to live and die again!
Before it was cut the tree had provided shade
while a child attempted to touch the sky
flying high on her swing.
Now logs die to keep her warm
snug under an worn-out afghan
she once wove — long ago.
Dare we ask what were her dreams,
what now her future —
as the sky lowers to caress her flesh
and kiss her cheek.

Weather or not

Weather or not you believe in change
I bring it with the slant of seasons,
the slow movement of mist over cold waters,
what cannot be contained released in rain.

Never turn your back on me
as if you can discern my next bold move.
Be prepared; do not be fooled.
I am the ruler. I cannot be ruled.

Continental Drift

Riding waves through cracks of Time,
we drift to our opposite corners
then crash into the Immovable,
raising the Alps and Himalayas
as fortold, the orogeny of old
worn by unrelenting winds and water,
crumble, return to the uncaring ocean
lapping the slopes of Appalachia.

THE MID-ATLANTIC RIDGE

Scar tissue

Only in Iceland
do I show my true colors:
dark, mischievous and too hot to handle.
No one sees each miniscule movement of magma,
as I divide you from yourself,
widening waters, isolating what cannot swim the seas,
Africa, America divorced down the middle,
Latter Day Vikings riding the ridge, conquering both.

Don't take me for granite

I'm basalt don't take me for granite
and don't leak silicon tears
of quartz and muscovite.
I don't speak Russian.

At my heart I'm dark and dangerous.
be careful walking the Giant's Causeway
climbing the columns of Devils Tower.
On the Moon I remain unmoveable.

There comes a lean and hungry look

There comes a lean and hungry look...

...to those who roam
among the empty aisles
in search of meaning
or something to inspire them

...as what was once their youth
becomes a cratered landscape
of abandoned dreams
and cast-off plans.

There comes a softening — to the breath

There comes a softening...

...to the breath
when the neck is kneeled upon
and the pressed into the earth
by a burly man in blue.

...and to the witnesses
of "No Lives Matter" perplexed
that 'there, but for the Grace of God'
they could be next.
