I was born in June.
I soared through valiant summers
In slow-motion leaps & bounds;
The big, happy sun ball rolled
up, down & around me
Like the science teacher's shiny mobile.

My Gemini twin
Had lustrous hair that bounced
with each sea-saw lift and dive.
Far as could be from winter,
She held my hand when, one time,
A bee sting introduced us to horror.
