I love the poem. The line that moved me was, "Every person in the car is/upset right now, but you are the only one screaming," her body leaning over and in front of the baby for this quiet declaration of fact. I can see each person listening, and hear the sobs catch and silence in relief. "I am not alone. I have been heard." Thanks Tammy for sharing your trio. (Heather O'Neill is a marvel.)
