Dancing – June Perkins
For all my friends who’ve lost a baby
‘Think universe,’
said the tiny spider
as it climbed upon its web.
‘Think universe,’
said the river as it flowed
from the mountain
to the coast.
‘Think universe,’ said the star
as it looked on
down from space.
‘Think universe,’ cried the mother
as she danced the
memory of
their baby’s face.
The star died
so the spider cried then
cast a thin thread
from the mountain to the coast
made a cradle for their baby’s soul
as the mother’s tears zoomed
into the sky.
‘Breathe universe
from the small up to the large,’
sang the moon
removing grieving’s curse.
It reminded the mother
she could mend
a dying universe.
