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.

Ancient Axe

From the Ancient Axe
the roots of peace spread out.
The blood of millions barely enough
to feed it for a thousand years,
red turning black then fading.
Even stones forgot
how it had covered altars and splattered walls.
All trace of it was gone.
But a breeze began to waft
across the land that war forgot,
rippled wheat fields, stirred deep waters.
Ancient forest-trees were too late to react,
their branches hewn to handles
as ploughs were forged into blades.
Peace was sundered.
The Ancient Axe revived at last.

There was a time I held the key to your heart.

Once there was time.

No more.

I hear an adagio from the cellist next door. Better than the explosions coming closer.

Soon. Very soon.

Why lament about life when there's so little left. I should ask him for a beer. You would find that funny.

I still don't drink beer.

Lips that taste wine...

Your lips are not near.

And they are dust. Has it been fifty years?

There's no story left untold. No last wishes to be undone.

I hold your watch and key.

Soon. Very soon.
