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.

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.

HERE LIES A QUEER

         after Amanda Gorman

That hill we die on will be blood stained
with the miscarriage of justice,
just us breaking through the silence
for those muted by dogmatic bigotry,
that gift from generations bound
by hatred and fear. Hear us
when we say queer. Hear us
when we shout queer. Bury us
with the epitaph HERE LIES A QUEER.
We will clap back from the graveyard.

Kåre Enga [180.44] (25.mai.2023)

10 lines free verse

"Poet Amanda Gorman spoke out after her poem The Hill We Climb, which she recited at President Joe Biden's presidential inauguration, was removed from an elementary school in Miami-Dade County, Florida."

Write me a political limerick?

Sure.

Lord Caoimhín O'Lim'rick's quite lucky.
Saint Ronnie O'Disney's just duckie.
         They went to Time's Square
         where sat in despair,
Don Juannie the twice loser suck-me.

What about Joe Biden?

Joe's not bad, just cheugy.

Breakfast's at Eight

Spill beans into a bowl, then let them soak.
Wash the rice, remove the stones.
Chop cilantro, carrots, onions, peppers, add a yolk.
Cook when daybreak dawns. Don't eat alone.
Invite your family, friends and folk. Puts flesh on bones.

Elegy in sepia

Gone, all gone
to the gutless and greedy,
no need to reach out
to the wandering sky
once roots are wrenched from paradise.

Even the color,
reduced to stark black and white,
now fades to sepia.

Adagio in Armargh

         to the sound of glass breaking

Mary Elizabeth sags —
slowly — like a Brahm's adagio,
tranquil but boring;

yet, tinkles like church bells when struck.

She's had ten too many children
and wants to punch through the glass ceiling —
before she's too worn out.

She's Thirty-six. A dash of hemlock? A cup of arsenic?

As the owner of her future, she'll rise to the top —
and give her offspring what their father could not.

Kåre Enga [180.35] (18.mai.2023)

The hermaphroditic snails don't care whether they slime through the Motherland or Fatherland. They just wave their eye-stalks, carry their home on their backs, search for one another to share a moment, look for somewhere to safely raise their brats.

She would grate carrots, julienne jujubes, gently braise two parrots, plonk them into a pot.

We were grateful when she moved on.

We arranged a wake, set before her portrait an offering of burnt toast, fermented herring and rotted cheese.
