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.

Frayed

The Sky's hem unravels.

First the golden thread,
then the scarlet,
leaving only indigo
and puce.

Night's curtain descends,
a charcoal shroud
with pinprick holes,
as frayed edges dim.

All bow to the New Moon's ebony
as the Void's brighter shade
fills the silent air,

as thick blankets of clouds
move in and smother hope
with despair.

Sunrise mirrored in the buffalo's eyes

To see sunrise mirrored
in the buffalo's eyes,
glinting off the flooded fields
where thin blades of grass
wait for a breeze to bring it news.

The morning's traffic
sings the market's dawn song,
those precious moments
before the day warms up,
as it has for hundreds of years.

The monkeys nod. The buffaloes know.
The elephants too.
They tried to slow down the two-legged ones
who scurry among them.
They gave up centuries ago.

Rice fields

when I was young

and my body bent
   like a young green blade
and my arms were strong
   and my fingers nimble
as I planted the sprouts
   that would flourish with rains
that once ripened and gleaned
   would nourish our bodies
till the end time came
   leaving only stubble
and now as I tire
   as the sun retires
too tired perhaps yet
  my heart full of joy
and I open my lungs
   and sing of deeds done
to the glow
   of the fireflies dancing
