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.

Arms raised to the skies

Encase me in ice
until the flow of anguish
freezes long enough
to make time stand still
to savor the shimmer
of moonlight,
these icicles stroked
by sunlight dripping,
this fragility of life
made manifest —
and beautiful.
Remember me like this
arms raised to the skies,
cold and pristine,
crisp and clean,
and sparkling.

There comes a reckoning...

when chocolate disappears
to reappear around one's waist —
as childhood dissipates —
and fat clogs veins.

And to the flesh
when roads wend uphill —
then level off —
as age begins to sag.
