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.

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.
