Under Moonwatch

Peonies beating

against the wind.

Her sideways eye

blinking slowly.

I, another animal,

and all of my furs.

Too much time not

spent on my heart

unfolding again:

yes, a season of no

accordance with

my own body, grown

to open its mouth

in a glossy light.

Brainy crackles

Word wilt hustle

As fountains out

You at your sprig

Drying thistles

Limping hackles

Bleeding spring.

The Rum Keg Girl – Before

All she wanted to

do was sail to far

away England, for

Mother told many

a story about the

world across the

pond. Father took

her by merchant’s

ship. Once docked,

he crouched down

and gently spoke

to her, If cobbles

could talk, they’d

tell stories, too.

Melissa Ashley Hernandez

The Rum Keg Girl – After

A couple of weeks

into home-voyage

brought to her an

illness that she

could not dispel.

Granted eternal

rest; little girl,

barely ten. Sworn

to bring her home,

Father gingerly

lowered her body

into a Rum Keg. How

Mother agonized,

words cannot say.

Melissa Ashley Hernandez

The Rum Keg Girl – After the After

Buried in a keg of

rum, under the oak

canopy in the old

church cemetery,

lies a young girl,

barely ten years

before sickness

claimed her body.

Toys left for her

on her headstone

move in the night

by ghostly hands,

a thanks from the

tiny Rum Keg Girl.
