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.

October Blues

Slow and low — I moan
a serenade, sung in a minor key
in hesitation, with hope, that the death
between us are mere embers,
sleeping, awaiting our touch.

I warm my fingers by their glow,
look around yet know —
like the weary leaves, you left —
for good — long ago.

For "PromptMaster !Open in new Window.

PRIZE PROMPT
8 lines:


"To see you again"

I open up the fortune cookie:

Three locks of hair.
Two toenail clippings
One withered finger.

A scrap of paper.
Four words in blood
scrawled by your hand.

Burn these by midnight so I can return.

TASK PROMPT
8 lines.


"Impatience"

When will I get to taste your lips?
So — this grape juice will not suffice.
Then, I'll truly rejoice and sip.
Know I nibble but do not bite.

I nibble but do not bite. Know
I'll truly rejoice and sip. Then
this grape juice will not suffice. So —
will I get to taste you lips? When?

Café de la mort

The fragrance of life has left us
bereft of memories of murmuring brooks,
the taste of full lips, warm and eager.

Our empty sockets gaze at nothingness
but we sense your presence as bones touch bones,
as thoughts wander off and mingle.

There are no secrets in the Death Cafe,
no shame, no fame, as our names are erased
from history — by the Living.

We do not blame them nor complain,
for they will join us soon enough.

Like the moon

         Give me a wife, who like the moon, won't appear in my sky every day — Chekov

Luna reigns all night
Apollo reins the Sun all day
They meet at dawn and dusk while
Twilight, a liminal love-child,
delights us in mid-May.

Stars are their constant lovers,
through seasons of rain and dust.

God doesn't care what day it is


Blue sky on a blue day,
the blues sung low
to not disturb the apathy
of those asleep.

Tomorrow blue will bruise,
a myriad of colors:
brown, black, yellow, red.
Pale pink turning purple
before the scarlet blood
of Sunday. Monday it will
yellow, unless the infected
wound is cleansed.

Thank Who It's Friday?
God doesn't care what day it is.

Recycled

I put my life on a scale.
It tips this way or that.

My value's in the offering.
Souls are comforted by that.

I will not judge where it is bound.
Pray it's happy next time 'round.

Oh, by gosh, by golly... It's Elon and The Folly.

He built the folly.
No, he bought the folly.

He owns the folly.
No, he is the folly.

As in Holly?
Oh, by gosh, by golly...

There's is no holy holly.
No holly can grow on desecrated land.

But, isn't this the Promised Land?
Only for the wicked lacking wisdom.

It's crowded.
Your point is?

Here he comes now!
Elon or The Folly?

We circle round the Folly,
bend and bow before the holly.
No holiness required;
no need to be inspired.

He knows it all!

We see his garden wither.
Yes, he loves the color green;
but, only if comes with numbers
followed by zeroes and greed.

He's just that mean.

Just do as his Lowness asks
and kiss his butt (as you must).
You'll only survive at his behest
for his demon's name is Musk.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Here they come regaled in gold.
Now, don't be shy to shout out bold
— Oh, by gosh, by golly —
It's Elon and The Folly.

A. A garden folly is a decorative, often whimsical, building or structure in a garden or park, built for its aesthetic appeal rather than any practical purpose, serving as an "eye-catcher" or focal point.

B. In a biblical context, "folly" signifies a lack of wisdom, understanding, and moral insight, essentially the opposite of wisdom, and is often associated with foolishness, wickedness, and a rejection of God's truth.

Daffodil weather

Bright splash of gold on a cold white-sky day. 10
The mud of March freezing, thawing; 8
no real illusion, warmth will be delayed 10
until the Ides of April's dawning 9
(or maybe May).


Kelly counts his colours

Is that blue-green or green-blue,
two of the forty shades of green
or the chartreuse of peeling pain
or hidden liquor? The lime in the coconut
or still on the tree, the hunter
in the evergreen forest of pine,
the sickening pus that must be cleansed
of the putrid pregnant pimple,
as jars of pickles, emerald gems
hidden at the back of the shelf,
cry out to be remembered
like the gems and malachite
stashed in your freshly painted drawers.
Sea green you said? More like sage
that mirrors the colors of a damp drear day,
dripping on grey-green snow covered moss.
Can we count copper coins and spires
now viridian shades of antiquity
or the verdigris of regret.
How Heineken in glass-bottles,
apples, pears or pistachios,
neon-spring or kelly green
define us. Ah, that's my colour.

Craters of Your Moon

Like a pimple, becoming pink, then red,
pain, discomfort, gathering beneath taut skin,
then pop! OMG — the gush, the flood.

Then the clean-up to remove all debris,
hoping to restore what once was loved; but,

in vain, craters remain, stark memory that
beneath the placid surface forces rage; and,
no matter what, will surely erupt again.

Now we are two

I was a unicorn; you were a mage.
I asked for something to contain my rage.

You offered stardust and bits of wet clay,
then laughed at my scowling face that day.

So I pranced to the east and cantered west,
knowing that I only knew what was best.

I only returned when I heard good news
another like me had been found. Bemused

I gathered my thoughts and began to groan,
could it be true that I wasn't alone?

Would they look like me with my stunning physique?
How would I cope with not being unique!

Would they become my friend or my rival...
and what about our race's survival?

No one said whether they were a he or she.
I didn't care as I knew I was me.

So I cantered west and pranced to the east
to where stood a colt, a young handsome beast.

And there YOU stood standing, grinning at me,
laughing, waving your wand for all to see.

"I noticed how lonely you were that day,
so with some stardust and wet bits of clay,

I fashioned someone to help quench your rage.
Yes, you're magical but I am a mage."
