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.

Lily

Lily lies in Lila's parlor
dead as flies in yonder corner
where she once hid in her fear
now she knows no pain, my dear

My dearest Lily
flower of spring
gone before the heat of summer.

gone before the blush of youth
was tarnished
gone before she withered.

Go back to sleep, dear Zombie

Early to bed early to rise...
means that you're not dead... yet;
but, you will be if you're not wise
and dare to bet

that I'm forgiving,
that I'll forget
come Thanksgiving,
and not chop off your head

as you leave the Land of the Living
on you way to ... instead
of those Pearly Gates
with you name engraved in lead

on your headstone, too late
to fall down on your knees
to admit you made a mistake
and woke up a Zombie,

too late to yell stop!
or cry please, please, please.
But, it's never too early to let me drop,
go back to sleep

to dream of lollipops
and unicorns that weep
instead of that surprise
that woke up the dead, you creep!

Jacques in his pulpit

In your negritude,
black embraced, embellished
with streaks of emerald, ivory,
aquamarine and rose,
full-throated cry
to survive the bogs,
those dark places of oppression,
relegated to flies and gators.
Shadow-nurtured,
arising from dark rich earth,
come here,
come here,
to the unquenched hunger of the swamp.
Come here.
I too am hungry.
