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.

Midnight in the alley,
Any Alley, USA


You act
as if I were a joke,
feint this way or that,
trying to start something.
But beware,
my calico cat
will claw you
and my dog's so hungry
and whining for a midnight snack.
Out of my way!
you'll say and I'll shout back,
good riddance,
as Precious barks
and Fangs hisses.
I warn you,
my parrot Lou
will remove a finger or two
if you poke them at him.
We travel this way;
we protect each other.
These streets are mean,
mother-f***er.

Ticked

Grass tickles
as your hand waves through it
where ticks wait
to climb aboard the passing food cart,
free travel...
meal included.
And they might be right
if you don't look quick
and tell them with a flick,
bugger off.

Fleeing from the rain gang

Smacked by a drop,
I smack back.
But its cousins have noticed,
gathering around,
a wet gang of mobsters,
I swear,
out-to-get-me.
Skies darken with threats,
wet pavement,
wash cars.
Drops try to enter the bakery
where I've fled.
They boom their frustration,
next time!
then take off like a mob,
eager to soak someone else.

Ex-bananas

Spell bound, Alexa carries a tomato box filled with bananas. She groans, "almost there", when a naughty baboon decides a banana would taste 'just fine' and tries to grab one. She thinks quickly and decides 'she won't win this one'. Too strong, too persistent, like a former lover who made her fall in love with the letter X. She tears off a couple and throws them, hoping... but the banana beggar wants the whole bunch. I'm dreaming she thinks, touches the mark on her forehead to summon her powers, closes eyes to candles, inhales the fragrance of clove, let's smoke carry her spell, banishing the baboon to another realm in another timeline. Then a tug brings her back to the present. She screams... because what else are anti-heroines supposed to do? She lets the bloody bold beggar have the bananas, opens the door and drives off in her car, glad she has escaped once more.

         X's haunt long after packed boxes are emptied of ripe bananas
