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.

Duty

Like a pigeon on a mission I strut to-and-fro
each task an homage to other people's goals,
Responsibilities assigned from without,
a loyalty that comes from within.
What burden it can be to stick
to roles that do not suit me. Truly,
my part is only part of the whole;
but with all due respect to myself
I must let go. I must unleash
commitments that weigh me down.
What onus it is to have duties
one cannot carry nor carry out.
Who asks the camel what breaks its back.
