Lost Body

Today they are talking on the radio about how to remember your infant, and not leave them in car seats for swelter to unspeak them                                                                                   or in the cold various parents raise their shoulders against here in the grocery store parking lot while I am coming out to my mother, over the phone, temperate zones away, saying how I must change, that I cannot stand this body any longer, the one she remembered held and fed and would not hold only once — when I fell beneath the rear tractor wheel, rolled under before anyone could stop the bush hog. This is the story she is telling me now —                                                                  again as though I haven’t heard, or can’t remember what happened, like the first year after, which is blank but for scars, and the sudden noise of an engine causing night terrors — that she stood over me in that field                                                                                  only thinking: my son my son.
