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.

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]
