a rare strawberry moon delight to join,
some say a storm will follow,
baby boy, heart connected, still born,
his brother says it means ( he wrote it in the book to show
at school to save the words too hard to speak) he died
before he was born, but he was still born, and
he was born still,
big changes the astrologers said were coming,
a shooting took
lives awakened my fear, my rage,
I see a casket the size of my foot lowered into the earth,
tears flood, so many bodies,
rock my grandson, and weep
for the grandmothers, the
mothers, who will never rock wiggling bodies.
