? ? ?

Summer Solstice, a favourite time, hope dreaming, 
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.
