For Kassandra - I have not forgotten

Kassandra
I have not forgotten
Kassandra
I will mourn you by name
Kassandra
Your life mattered
Kassandra
I will remember you
Kassandra
I will not judge what I do not know
Kassandra
I will pray a hedge all around your baby
Kassandra
your name has become like an Amen of sorts
Kassandra
I will raise my daughter to call audibles
While I will act as commissioner
And assess fines
Kassandra
I will intone your name
like a pledge of allegiance
not to the flag
but to the banner
that is womanhood
Kassandra
I will carry you
