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.

Carry you home

Your stardust weighs nothing:
ground bone and leather
dry as the moon
you fled to,
the outpost
you died in...
frightened I would follow,
aware I would find you.
I've always sought you out, Zmitri,
whether you drowned
in the marshes of Zmuda
or when on Zmaa'a,
you were blasted
into mere energy.
Signs of your passage
have always guided me.
I've known your trace of atoms
from the beginning of Eternity.
I carry you home now,
ready to be reborn as a star.

Fire and Flame

1.

Fill the buckets!
Douse the flames!
The mountain blazes and sparks
when the lush green of Spring
ripens and dries.
It's ready to burn.

2.

Lower the scoop into the river.
Raise it full of fish and water.
Carry it to the burning mountain.
Drop it!
Like loaves of manna,
quench the thirst of the slopes.

3.

Blackened pines and scorched meadows
mock the silly folk who mourn.
This cycle of life and death
renews dead soils, will feed deep roots.
Come next Spring all will sprout anew
a dapper shade of emerald.

Lick me at the Celtic Fest

I meet a puppy,
some two-year-old pooch
that lives to lick the hands
and faces of friends—
and all strangers too.
Tan floppy ears perk
as I pet her and a pink muzzle
nuzzles for more.
Where there's no fear of contact—
we-all connect:
me, this puppy, the Celtic universe.

But I must inquire, my dearest love
—if I were a boxer—
could I you lick you too.

Gold and false gold

Kjent eller ukjent men... always... alltid...
ready to explode. We fathom our hands,
pan golden sands, wash them from mother-lode.
We seek to understand the known
and unknown... each time we question
the distance between gold and false gold.
But even iron pyrite has its beauty.
That for us must unfold and although gold
costs nothing to admire, pyrite wastes little
to acquire. In the glitter of quartz strands,
by the pearl essence of the moon, even truth
bows to beauty and truth or untruth
become one and the unknown ravels
and to weaves the cloth of what is known.

                                       i didn't see your car

...your car
                   wasn't parked
                                       outside tonight
                   and
no one
                                                 no one
         answered your door

the breeze that cools
                                                           my bed
                             tonight
freezes the smile                    i once wore
                                       as years of friendship
         that once we shared
                                                           fade
with two words:
                             no more

                   and the little death
                                       of sleep that comes
shudders
                             with the nightmares of yore
when i huddled alone
                                       in the land of despair

         before

                                                           before

I responded to Connie Biddle Morrison: "I'll need to save this link elsewhere. My "Blood of the Garlic" is about characters more than plot so I'd sum it up as "the misadventures of a marginalized community of misfits". The theme? SURVIVAL seems to fit. I find the article useful and will need to re-read it. As for "Os vampiros não vivem em Évora" ... "a young man traces his roots... excited and afraid of what he'll find". It's about? ACCEPTANCE of SELF perhaps? Although both have "vampires" as main characters that's not really the theme nor the story line. My characters are so-much more than "blood-suckers"; they aren't leeches. ♥ Thanks."

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.
