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.

Mole

— inspired by Nora Moseman

"The snow gives back
the sun without the wanton yellow" and my grey
fur trembles in my hole.

How to say I'm numb
if not to note the nothingness
of grey. Not one shimmer of silver—
just a pall of dust blotting out
the vibrancy of living.

Once I was a gardener
of color: orange cosmos beckoning
butterflies, blue globes enticing bees, red trumpets
for the hummers. They all visited me.
I became a destination
for winsome wings.

In autumn a tracery
of hoarfrost graced my leaves,
slowly released reds and yellows from their prisons,
attracting those who deigned to dine
on one last supper.

But that was another lifetime,
long-ago. For now it's winter and layer
upon layer of cold bears down. Days—grow dim,
give way to night. My grey fur
shivers in my den.
