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.

Silence sounds golden

Brackish water won't quench the drunk.
Track the cat, beware the claws.
Crack your back but not your uncle's.
Back off! Now!

Quack goes the duck. *ACK* goes Bill.
Clack goes the ghost; crushed cups kill.
Screech all you want; but, shut-the-f***-up,
till I'm not here.

Prompt: raucous: making or constituting a disturbingly harsh and loud noise. A raucous sound is loud, harsh, and rather unpleasant.

Harsh sounds: K (b,d,g is mentioned but in Spanish these are soft; a consonant cluster may be harsher br,dr,gr) P, T (but not as harsh as K) S... but to me that's a hiss. L in English (alveolar) and Spanish (dental) is mostly liquid but a velar L (like in Portuguese and Polish is harsh). R? can be very harsh if it is velar, uvular or comes out of the throat (like in Dutch or French). In genral vowels, nasals and liquids are non-harsh sounds. Consonant clusters in words like strict or 'er' sounds like curter are unpleasant enough that they are not pronounced with an 'r' in many dialects.
