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.

We abide

last hug, last handshake

—don't call again—

the message clear or muddled

separation for a day, a month

—forever—

time never cares who cruel it treats us

we abide

in our hidden recesses

until it's safe to come out again

to say hello

(albeit timid)

to the world that has left us behind.

Ingrid Fossensdatter

she swishes her tail
as if to summon a troll,
her hovel hidden
behind rock scree and waterfall,
a handsome hulder
if she must say so herself.

it's been awhile
and she's getting lonely,
someone to share
a night-long conversation,
a cup of catmint tea,
maybe her bed.

she'd prefer a lad
but no one has asked her
to watch his charcoal
overnight.
no one has offered
gifts in return

perhaps she's become a myth,
but she hides her tail
when she goes to town.
they think her kind's unwashed.
she lives under a waterfall
to cleanse herself.

oh, to dance by starlight,
tail twirling,
her long skirt swirling,
a diva or a dancing queen
oh, to be seventeen —
like a century ago.

Book, wine and blinkers

Ancient, ugly ... maybe ...
hoary, hairy, hooked for sure.
Call me Bundt-cake ... Baby ...
but never your whore.
