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.

Answers come at dawn

Grey over grey.

I cannot see the mountains clearly at the hour of the dying of the day.

Oh, to have new eyes!

New ears to hear the river's wailing.

New nose to smell the heat of spices.

New heart to thank young Bri for gifts of food.

What good can come to moaning at the edge of night when the answer comes at dawn.

Age of Mayflies

Time creeps as light grey deepens to charcoal
no embers glowing in the sky
to mark the passing of another Age of Mayflies,
their lives as short as ours,
mere hours between the rising and setting
of an earthbound passage,
as our last cries echo that moment we burst forth
and filled our lungs with breath.
Now we empty them to seek the tomb, eternal womb,
to mark the passing through the night
into another realm of light.

Even the boxes...

No sunset worthy of leaving my bed.
An hour later a faint blue glow in the northwest teases me.
I know its game.
It ducks behind the mountains to reappear at some ungodly morning hour.
As if I care.

This day of nothing's followed by more nothingness.
Even the boxes I gather to store my memories remain unfilled.

Even the boxes...

I catch the glow that doesn't know it's shifting from gold to orange on the edge of twilight. It's westward bound, an elder hound. I'm sighing.

Another liminal space I must traverse to call it mine for fleeting moments and new-found memories. I stash them where the sun can't burn them.

The flag has turned its back and the river churns as the traffic churns crossing by the bridge above it. Everyone but me going somewhere.

Even the glow abandons me until the dawn as the night pulls down its shade.

         orange flickers
         at twilight's edge — the night
         pulls down its shade

By the window

One star twinkles at twilight as he searches for the one you wished upon — waiting to hear its answer. As the glow slips below the silhouetted branches and the alpenglow slides up cold mountain slopes to the pine-green treeline the cooling breeze whispers names. He listens for yours roaring down the canyon, sprinting from the east, past the landing's window, sunset bound.

         the big star
         sets — the old man sits
         by the window

A serenade - at evening.
A gzaibun - haibunish form.

Or... "the old man dies by the window"

Invitation

         for Bri

an invitation for pizza — ham and tomato on flat bread —
we talk about coffee — the cafe life we used to lead —
how the plague hit and the stone was rolled in front of our cave —
how we struggled within our coccoon — hands tied, feet tied, voice
hushed — we try to burst out in buds, blossom to greet the spring, but
— a year of darkness reminds us that nothing will be as before —
and what was lost will never return — we sit at the table —
pizza in hand — the fragrance of coffee wafting its warmth

Serenade

We see cloud linings
as if they're cotton,
as if they're hung above us
like a blanket
to keep us safe and snug
upon the ground
as the flapping flag makes muted sounds;
but, through the dirty window,
I can only hear it waving
to the setting sun.

Grain sifts

Grain sifts between soft fingers —
time lifts warm seas;
between cold mountain ridges —
life boldly clings.

Forget how once you hurt me —
regrets won't heal;
by morning light remember —
when mourning me.

Evening coffee

Vermilion streaks stretch west to east
as thoughts fade from blue to puce to gunmetal.
My evening coffee cools
as I travel to Thailand, Taiwan, taking the bridge
that spans the river that flows beneath me.
It races towards the setting sun as if
it will flow forever. I take another sip
as if I have eternity to savor it.

Minus your ink

Minus your ink
this page becomes a palimpsest
to receive new joys and tears.

Minus my scribbles
there is no story, no need to stray
beyond the edges of reality.

Minus our future
there is no need, no need.
