the year I was suppose to give birth in the spring,
the year Mount St. Helens erupted, the year John Lennon was shot?
Maybe my longing should have been less.
Maybe my body should have done more. ~ All season long a stilled lullaby beats between barren ribs.
The geese bleed into the sunset.
Should I believe, what will be, will be? ~ Near Puget Sound a mother orca pushes her dead calf
around the waters for seventeen days and one thousand miles.
She struggles to keep her baby afloat before letting go. Her lament:
a barren lullaby.
How long do we carry the things we'll never hold?
How long do we carry the stories that need to be told?
By Louisa Muniz
