Incantation For a Woman Considering Abortion

by Storm Garner

 

Rob I not a…

or to ban, I…

onto a rib,

onto bra I–

too brain…

ban I root?

 

No, art bio;

nor to a bi,

nor at obi,

I rob a Not,

(I rob a ton)

I art-boon

an “I-robot”.

 

I boo-rant…

Born to I: a

rain boot,

a torn obi,

anti-boor–

I orb at “no”,

or obtain.
