L'aura del Campo

by Kåre เลียม Enga

Rated: 13+ · Book · Personal · #982524

Online journal capturing the moment and the memory of moments. A meadow meditation.

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.

In response to "Quiet after the storms "

Harlow Flick, Right Fielder I tried to take an abstraction and ground it (in concrete?).

Thanks for reading.

Atmospheric. Well done.

I particularly like the first stanza.

In response to "As we rot"

Thanks so much for this poem, and for sharing the story of the dead dog and his beautiful teeth!! (The last line also makes me think of the wolf in the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood!!) I love the feeling in this, and the praise, and the brevity and the long EE of "teeth" in the last line, making me smile.

Joy Oh, I love the bittersweet or dark-and-light although this has more dark.

In response to "Quiet after the storms "

Very effective lines even with--or maybe because of--the grim in them.

Cappucine I'll bow to "strangely beautiful".

I just went with the flow. Could use a minor edit but I'm happy that you like it.

In response to "Make up your mind, Spot! "

Congrats!

I didn't think it was silly, though! I rather thought you were a genius of description.

In response to "October Blues"

winklett Thank you. Any emotional response is good imho. At my age, and in my situation, I'm surrounded by echoes and embers. Reality is heartless; the Past slips away; the shore of the Future — shrouded in fog.

To remember Tokyo [118] (16 lines)

To remember Tokyo

He places
shellfish
next to soy sauce
with shiitake on the side
adds seaweed and wilted spinach
sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.
He fills a bowl with miso
and pours green tea.

He savors his umami 1 bomb
restful on a table —
until his chopsticks
interrupt in haste
to consume whatever pleasure's
in his sight,
but never never
Vegemite.

Footnotes
1 Umami 旨味 taste is common to foods that contain high levels of L-glutamate, IMP and GMP, most notably in fish, shellfish, cured meats, meat extracts, mushrooms, vegetables (e.g., ripe tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, spinach, celery, etc.), green tea, hydrolysed vegetable protein, and fermented and aged products involving bacterial or yeast cultures, such as cheeses, shrimp pastes, fish sauce, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, and yeast extracts such as Vegemite and Marmite.

In Cathedrals of the Book [117] (16 lines)

In Cathedrals of the Book

In cathedrals of the book
they turn the pages of the tomes
in search of hallelujahs, comb
for insight, wisdom as they look,

through ancient parchment treasures,
at ornate scenes inked from herbs;
they consider the weight of words
worth more than gold stamped leather.

The stories of their childhood,
the doleful angst of every youth,
the search for universal truth,
the battles of evil and good,

all lie hidden in the pages
brought to them by thoughtful clerks
who help them search through massive works
of sinners, saints and sages.
