bloody hands

hours of
cramps
handful of pills
blood
in the bowl
and…
done
until its not.
until governmental bureaucracy
steps in
and demands
a right to
speculate
stick a speculum
into the vaginas
of millions
and state
“state morality
above
bodily autonomy”
then women
are left
to pop pills
they bought on sale
from the internet
fall down
the stairs;
at least three flights
wash their tubes
with bleach,
turpentine
and poke themselves
at times to death
with knitting needles
or coat hangers
because suddenly
safety doesn’t exist
because religion
is of higher import
than health
