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.

In my sleep

Your gentle breezes cooled my fever.
Your ice-cold fingers probed my pain.
I dreamed for centuries while you massaged
my ennui—and banked my embers.

Let me rest beyond complaint.
I've gained the wisdom winds and waters bring.
I'll float upon your iceberg seeking sun,
until you melt. Until you're done.

And then I'll blaze anew, my lava
swinging around a distant sun.
You'll forever melt my dreams, Zmitri.
Until once again we meld as one.

Unwanted reminder

A bulldog carries a dildo,
pink, long, completely hung,
not neutered.
He brings it from the neighbor's yard,
carries it like a new-found toy,
his precious.
He will chew on the boner
or bury it like a bone
perhaps to be found some day
by a prospector looking for treasur,
or an anthropologist
searching for a cultural artifact.
In fact, it's both.
Will they laugh?
Do you dare visit your neighbor
to return the 'gift'? Really...
do you dare?

... and someone asks whose ghost is leaning against the dying pine, how Billy Biden was so young, only 65... And you remember a kid riding a bike through the rain, tossing a newspaper, missing the porch, the soggy mess of it. How Billy was only 15 and you were only 55... and newly widowed.

Oblate

We spin.
We cannot stop.
To cease to move would be our death.
This cannot be our lot.

We created gravity
that bears down upon our heads.
We shrink
as our midriff bulges.
And still we dance
around our god, move
as if Sufi taught us how to spin.
In truth...
we taught them.

In the delirium
before the capture of our moons,
betide the coalescence of fire and ice
when once the spark of life begun
— we spun.
And still we spin
rings around our middle
flaring out in a dance of starlight
reflection of our god,
the Sun.

Belle figura

Etched in limestone
you rise from seas
a fossil from Ages of Discovery,
times when you were worshiped
across Eternity, bound only by your vision.
Oh, how they invoked your many names—
a pantheon of gods and goddesses
fashion from grey clays of darkness
you brought forth into light.
But I always knew who you were, Zmitri.
I saw your visage behind the many masks,
your footprints strewn across
the continents of land, the bathtubs of the seas,
your hand-prints disguised to all but me.
Now all the monuments they made
have turned to dust, but what you thrust
upon this spinning void remains
a vast domain obscured by swirling life
preserved in fossils, pressed in tomes,
still etched in limestone, rising.
