Semiosis by Sue Burke

"If we could have done more, if there was a way to protect babies from coughs and rashes, from hunger and injury, from mistakes and delusion, we would have done it. I decided to write a song about that someday soon, a serious song... Something to reflect the aches of a soul that had lived a day too long and knew failure, the worst kind of failure, the kind you couldn't prevent, a song that would make people cry when they heard it, that would make me cry when I sang it, about the grief that remained green in every season, and that I had to sing about because it hurt more to keep quiet."
