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.

Remains of the weekend

Remains of the weekend
a four hour bus ride
spent in tears kept to myself
leaking like the lies I told
to try to fit in.
Now fifty years older
and still tearful;
I never fit in.
But I still remember that Monday,
standing out of body
behind myself
then smoking Derbys
as if that could lessen the pain
in that land of personal strife,
now only memories,
the remains of my life

Dull knife of a long life

I can't die young; 4
that bridge to immortality 8
was crossed so long ago, that when I look back, 11
the beginning's shrouded, 6
by what's been long forgotten, faded 9
memories of what never was, 7
fog that seldom lifts. 5 [50s]

The sharp knife of youth has lost its edge, 9
no longer cleanly cuts, 6
no longer severs what ought to be let go to have been abandoned, 13
bruises and the bruises fester; 8
better to have lived fast and died young. 9 [total 45s]

I was never wild, 5
never lived life to its fullest utmost, 8
never learned to loveembrace the precipice, 10
that mortal edge; instead, 6
I've endured the dull knife of a long life 10
as each choice came with its own price. 8
When will I learn to let go.
7 [total 54s]

Paved with gold

... but no one cares... no angels here.

The roads leading to Hell are empty; but,
the bars are full.

Sad stories of shame or blame, but —
never taking into account

that in every story, they —
were the one who was always there.

Center of Creation.
Maelstrom of Destruction.

The Roads to Hell are paved with gold; but,
nobody's sober enough to care.
