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.

What month am I?

This month begins as winter fools us.
"Make up your mind." We fuss.
Crocuses hide beneath white snow,
the sun behind black crows.

We take a nap until those days
when warm winds bring soft rains
and color fills our daily dreams
as grassy lawns turn green.

Clear skies burst out in brilliant blue
and yellow fills our view
as dandelions and daffodils
cover cool fields and hills.

The apricots bloom pink and white.
If frosty nights don't bite,
we'll harvest their fruits come August
before the autumn's dust.

We salute the Earth for all she gives
that helps all wildlife live.
We gather her blooming tulips,
then plant new tulip trees.

I follow March. What month am I?
I bring wet cloudy skies,
dance in puddles that welcome May,
pick hyacinth bouquets.

Call us Boss

We wear our human costumes daily,
but this is who we are.
Whether happy faced or gruesome,
our ruler wears a crown.

We speak in gruff or dulcet tones,
no two of us alike,
at midnight take our costumes off
so we can have some fun.

We're all upstanding citizens
and thoughtful to a fault.
We hang signs on the boardroom door:
"Private; members only",

then gnash our teeth and lick our gums,
begin to laugh, cavort,
and joke away until the dawn
while stripping flesh from bones.

Call us fools — but every Monday
we're back to playing tricks.
We're the bosses you love to hate.
Oh, if you only knew.
