In this poem brooks generally writes about having an abortion and the feelings she has. She talks about certain things children do that a mother will miss. When she mentioned "the singers and workers that never handled the air" It brings a sense of sadness. I have a feeling brook is trying to convey a longing of things mothers usually known to be good at.
A strong part of the poem i think is when she says "you were born, you had a body, you died." Its in justifying and brings sadness amongst the reader. Brooks wanted the reader to know the feelings a taste of her emotions and how she feels. These quotes all describe very vivid images. Brooks could have experienced an abortion or had very strong feelings about it. I sense emotions of remorse, and wanted her reader can feel how she felt. " the damp small pulps with little or no hair" stayed with me through as i read the rest of the poem.
This was a major turning point because she then addresses no longer as the mother but to the child. A change of emotions as well change she feels sorrow, love, and redemption. Brook uses very vivid images when i feel goosebumps. Her prerogative for her poem was to get her message across to the ready and that definitely did in my perspective.
