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.

Purr

         inspired by Martina Lupton Kramer

In space
no one can hear you purr
, Zmitri.
On that barren rock,
no one hears you cry out in thirst.
I mourn
your absence and my loneliness.

Head towards the daystar. I'll meet you there.
Where we embrace we'll find our forever home.

From the tower

From the tower 4
distant mountains lay in shadow, 8
cloaked, choked by smoke, 4
veiled, washed by rain, 4
thunder blaring, 4
lightning cackling; wet drops lashing 8
the window pane 4 = 36

Remote as clouds 4
grey-green mountains squat like islands, 8
moonlit mystery, 5
green as jungles, 4
nightly noisy, 4
like cities of frogs and herons 8
lit by starlight 4 = 37

clouds now gather 4
around the condo's fourteen floors 8
mountains glower, 4
sad, diminished 4
by human eyes 4
who only see piles of money 8
and what it buys 4 = 36

Under a sky full of stars

In a firmament black as pitchblende
the first rock felt lonely
until beckoned by a distant light,
lit by you, Zmitri.

As it flew like a comet towards you,
I hitched a ride for free.
And I, under a sky full of stars,
saw only you, Zmitri.

Alien in Aisle Eleven!

I watched clouds come in from the east
a ROILing mess of grey and black — water and anger.

I sat there as if to BROIL was my ticket to hell,
like beef or beets, steamed like prawns or frogs.

You RECOIL at my reddened face,
my peeling arms, my pimples; yet,
sit there in nothing but your banana bikini.

I've seen better in Aisle Eleven.

Ovi for Pan

June. I welcome cooling moonbeams,
inhaling strawberry ice cream
that I've sprinkled with ovaltine.
Should I leave some for you?

I scrape this ceramic bowl clean,
it's not that I mean to be mean.
You lie there absorbed by your dreams
and sleep unaware.

Version in past tense.

Ovi for Pan

In June I welcomed cold moonbeams,
inhaling strawberry ice cream
sprinkled with malted ovaltine.
Should I have left some for you?

I scraped the ceramic bowl clean;
it's not that I meant to be mean.
You lay there absorbed by your dreams
and slept unaware.

Monochrome in indigo

all color removed except for blue
this nighttime gift of shame you left me
towers I cannot climb
supplications declined
emotions that never set me free

here in the city
surrounded by millions
I shake all alone

Impatiens

I planted them every summer,
an oval of soft pink against
a backdrop of sage-green cedar.
They mirrored my youthful struggle
to be patient — I waited.
You never responded — should
I have chosen firecrackers,
rainbow explosions of color.

In Sousse-Massa

They climb trees. They eat fruit,
shit and spit the nuts,
that we collect, that we press
into argan oil put on your face.

Rake the ground then comb your hair.
No woman's an atoll when goats
must be tended; no man's a reef
where women tend to them.

I would walk away.
I would say little.
Nothing if I could.

Don't want your crumbs.
I'm not so dumb.
I'm not your chum.

Stultify, nullify,
justify, petrify.

Good guy?
Bad guy?
Bye-bye!
Should I

stay?
No!

Run,
run,
run.

In their worlds of morality, venality, normality,
we dare not show exceptionality or illumine their mediocrity.

In perfect worlds of better and best
we unbelievers forage for crumbs, along with the rest,

yet refuse to invest in their insufferable totality.
