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.

What she remembers before the lamp gutters out

I do not remember the year
                                                 only that it was winter
         and the unpaved streets were empty
                                                                     although the night was still young
                   and a crescent moon lit the way of the wary
windows dark
                             doors shut
                                                           street lamps guttering out.

Weary,
                   I watched a moonlit man in a top hat walking towards me
         wandering down the stone-clad sidewalk
                                                                               as if he hadn't a worry
                             as the clock struck the hour
         and steam rose from the city
to block out the moon,
                                       bare tree limbs reaching out as if to snatch it.

They say that no one screams
                                                 before Jack rips out your throat.

                             I would know.

That much I do remember...

         Steam rises to gag winter's moon
         before it gasps and breaks this silence.

Note: a ramble, could become a prose or prose poem... maybe, or a hybrid form, similar to a haibun. Too soon to edit properly, IMHO.

Lime Ricky

Ricky wanted to climb back into the lime soda,
its green placenta abandoned, its womb empty.
Ejected after its fizz popped and its water broke--
covering everything in reach with limey froth--
Ricky groped around, gasping for breath.
He was a land animal now, no longer a swimmer
embraced by lime-green jism. He looked around.
There was no glass of rum waiting for a jinn,
a squirt of citrus, an orphaned man. He jumped,
as if he could squeeze back into the bottle,
hanging on as I took his picture. But as we all know,
once birthed, we can never re-enter the womb.
