The Womb’s Prayer

give me today a pregnancy test

help me to piss and stress straight

tho i walk through the valley of planned parenthood

i shall fear no sterile weapon or spermicide

hallowed be thy name and now body

barren make me a broken magic trick

abracadabra acrobat with a 8:30 appointment

now she here

now she sedated

heavenly father who ain’t mine or my child’s

make me a murderer and mother all at once

forgive my sin and flourish

for i am here

and i am blk

and my blood has stopped

 

heavenly father who give

i’ve made a blk child and a possible indictment

may the sheeps on these walls keep these thick thighs narrowed

may today be not another body lost

but saved
