Night Magic (Blue Jester)
By Lorna Dee Cervantes
After Federico García Lorca
Blue that I love you
Blue that I hate you
Fat blue in the face
Disgraced blue that I erase
You lone blue
Blue of an alien race
Strong blue eternally graced
Blue that I know you
Blue that I choose you
Crust blue
Chunky blue
Moon blue glows that despise
You — idolize you
Blue and the band disappears
Blue of the single left dog
Blue of the eminent red fog
Blue that I glue you to me
You again and again blue
Blue blue of the helium
Bubble of loveloss
Blue of the whirlwind
The blue being again
Blue of the endless rain
Blue that I paint you
Blue that I knew you
Blue of the blinking lights
Blue of the landing at full tilt
Blue of the wilt
Flower of nightfall
Blue of the shadow
In yellowed windows
Blue of the blown
And broken glass
Blue of the Blue Line
Underlines in blue
Blue of the ascending nude
Blue before the blackness
Of new blue of our winsome
Bedlam Blue of the blue
Bed alone: blue of the one
Who looks on blue of what
Remains of cement fall
Blue of the vague crescent
Ship sailing blue of the rainbow
Of wait blue that I whore
You — blue that I adore you
Blue of the bluest door
Blue my painted city
In blue (it blew.)
Night Magic (Blue Jester), 1988, by Carlos Almaraz

Top five Elizabeth Goudge books and not necessarily your favorite five, but five poems that are particularly significant to you?
(also hello dear heart love you love you!! 💖💖💖💖💖)
Ahhh wow LOVE this.
1. The Scent of Water. It’s just such a classic and it’s so full of depth but also there’s a light touch. Mary is older and you can FEEL the peace.
2. The Dean’s Watch. The way that grace and forgiveness and coming home play out in this makes me weep.
3. Green Dolphin Street. I feel like I need to reread because tbh I think my feelings have changed but it was just sooooo formative for me in shaping some of how I felt about romantic love. And the way love is a CHOICE but also something beyond our choosing made me cry.
4. The Bird in the Tree. I love Pilgrim’s Inn. But this one is Nadine’s struggle to give David up!!!! And again, it’s just the first book that introduced me to the concept of what happens when morality and romance are at odds and I think it does it so beautifully.
5. The Rosemary Tree. It just has all the Goudge tropes but it’s also very modern in that the people feel near and the struggles fresh every time I read it. (I think her modern books are the best.)
Also poems—yay!!!
Of course Time does not bring relief by Edna. I bully my students into memorizing it every year. Stenciled Memories by Lorna dee Cervantes and The Sky now Black with Birds (Jamaal May) are both poems I read in college that haunt me to my core. No worst there is none by Gerard Manley Hopkins has helped me through some tough times. And lately I really love John Donne’s Riding Westward Good Friday poem.
#I feel like I am missing a vital one somehow (I probably am)#a vital Goudge I mean#THANK you eden!!! 💚

SLYTHERIN:
“... I plant geraniums.
I tie up my hair into loose braids,
and trust only what I have built
with my own hands.”
