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.

In a Cherokee burial ground

         Teresita, 2003

Stone pillars.
Their names engraved in ayaguh.
The bones now bleached.
Words they once spoke now dying.
Who will recite the prayers
a thousand years from now.
Who will listen.
Who will respond.

I long to wake up next to the one
 who cuddled me all night,
 body odor nauseating,
 bad breath revolting.

There's nothing worse than lying alone,
 someday dying alone,
 Be the one who keeps me warm
 until I'm bone cold.

After a long wait you arrive
handsome, hung and horny,
an ample answer to my longing
wrapped with rainbows.

Life plays party tricks, promises
hell or paradise. I'll pass—
and settle for the soft sea-sounds
of your snoring.

In my life

Mark sang to my youthful heart:
gleen as gleen could be.
Kevin swaddled me with love:
layer upon layer.
Gare was what I wanted to be,
yet could not be.
Pan now proves:
I'm not dead yet.

Clouds Overhead

They bring rain
to other places—
broken promises—
like those I made to you.
They bring winds
that blow me away—
to other places—
where I'll ne'er forget you.

Justice on the playground 1961

blood and royalty
lollipops and loyalty

strawberries screamed
while ice cream redeemed

mistrust

as cerise swirls seduced,
like rubies and raspberries now reduced

to dust or just us.

There's only old guidebooks to life—
with sketchy maps—so to say; but,
wayfarers learn by walking paths; and,
enjoy adventures along the way.

I never wanted to walk alone;
yet, without a passport, borders closed.

Daffodils march on and on
through all my childhood dreams
and a myriad of tulips bloom
or so it seems;
but here the smoke and chilies choke
as durians stench the air.
Oh, to be a youth again
and debonair.

my rashes fade from red to pink;
my bruise turns into rainbows.
All futures lie beyond these wounds
the ones that I've survived.
And smoke gives way to rain—
tomorrow?
And joy overcomes the pain
and sorrow.

Your way or the highway?
I chose,
and landed in Norway—
fifty years later.

I wakened to it:
snow-on-vidda,
my hair turning white.

no way to deny
the advance of age,
the calming of rage,
the Coming Home.

Earlier 47 word version written today:

Your way or the highway?
I choose My Way
and landed in Norway
fifty years after I dreamt it.
Now I wakened to it:
the vidda snow capped,
my hair turning white,
no way to deny
the advance of age,
the calming of rage,
the Coming Home.
