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.

Blown away by truth

Love blinds me in an instant
I want him. I need him.
Sense fading in the distance.

I hide behind my walls,
balance on his parapet,
frightened of the fall.

I seek what I can hold
careful not to crush him,
shy and timid, never bold.

But then he sees me, frowns.
I stand frozen in his glare,
melting, seek to drown.

So, I light a match, then dash,
my torch flaming, burning,
reducing reality to ash.

Embers seen from a distance,
glow where once love grew,
extinguished in an instant,
blown away by truth.

Birches and blossoms

Eyes wide open
a child climbs the birch —
blue robin eggs

The pines have sheltered
the deer, the robin, from ice,
the melt, the chill,
now spring has found the birch
greening branches, enticing
sparrows, finches and robins
to move to a new perch.

Come summer,
dense shade of the maple, and
the damp leaf mold, provide
a home for bugs and worms
for generations of wings
that adorn the trees like
autumn leaves among the gold.

Now the winds of winter
lulls all to sleep under a blanket
of snow. Yet life persists in nooks
and crannies, slowly marking
the days until the sun returns
when the impatient plums
send out buds and bloom.

robin flitting
among plum blossoms — old
man with a cane
