demands

Lune #14 of 25

your silly demands
do not fit
the layers of me.


*A lune (rhymes with moon) is a very short poem. It has only three lines. It is similar to a haiku. A haiku has three lines, and it follows a 5/7/5 syllable pattern. The lune’s syllable pattern is 5/3/5. Since the middle line is limited to three syllables, it is often the shortest line of the three. This makes a lune curve a bit like a crescent moon.

For the next twenty-five days, except Saturdays and Sundays, I will share a lune with each of you. This is Lune #14 of this project.

Dear, God–cover him.

Caisonasleep
Caison, asleep. Taken a few months ago. My baby cousin Caison is hospitalized with pneumonia. I went to visit him and my heart just couldn’t take it. I was in and out of teary fits. I miss my little buddy.

Dear, God: cover him–
take this child
heal him with your love.

let’s make up–
calm these stormy seas.
