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.

Paranoia rising

wetlands forgive winter,
praise pools of snow that fed it

out of muck
new shoots of onions

sprouts rising towards sun
ignore thunderclouds that gather

what will be will be
whispers across green rows

we are onions, mere bulbs,
stuck in mud until we're plucked

until then—peace among us:
the shallots, garlic, leeks,

we all get along

but the lightning slashes

beware, beware,
they are out to get you


but we are onions—we cannot flee!
then you are doomed

booms the thunder
come the hail, come the flood

Before the storm, the onions nod:
garlic, onion, carrot, peas,
Dear God, protect the least of these

Earlier version:

Paranoia rising

wetlands forgive winter,
praise the pools of snow that fed it

out of the muck
new shoots of onions

sprouts rising towards sun
ignore thunderclouds gathering

what will be will be
whispers across green rows

we are onions, mere bulbs,
stuck in mud until we're needed

until then—peace among us:
the shallots, garlic, leeks

we all get along

but the lightning slashes

beware, beware,
they are out to get you


but we are onions—we cannot flee!
then you are doomed

booms the thunder
come the hail, come the flood

The onions nod before the storm:
garlic, onion, carrot, peas,
Dear God, protect the least of these

I had a waking-nightmare of paranoia, quite aware no-one and nothing was out to get me. I was also thinking of onions... and the mucklands near where I grew up.
