• The Robber Bride

Possession is nine tenths of the law
I made sure that she knew it
Maybe I pressed her a little too hard
Because in the end she proved it

See, some things are worth standing up against
So when she told me she wasn’t planning on keeping it, my faith was put to test.
Little girls are supposed to want to play with dolls
The doctor wouldn’t take her calls, I wasn’t hearing her bullshit
I told her to remember where she came from, I told her
The front lines of liberation are the ones who see the first bullets

She bought some textbooks and some knitting needles
Even though she had no time for reading.
She knew what she was going to happen.
Took the day off work, placed some papers and blankets down on the floor.
There weren’t any plans for after
Undressed and pressed a sharp point against
that swelling mess of silencings and dead ends until it finally tore through.
And then came the blood. So much slower than she’d thought it would.
Except it didn’t stop, and then she was lying in a pool
Except it didn’t stop, and her skin was pale and cool
Except it didn’t stop, and the floorboards were ruined
And when it did stop, she was already dead
When the blood stopped she was already dead.

Art is long and life is brief
She painted a canvas of bed sheets blood red and stole what’s mine from me
She got what she wanted, she was conscious just long enough to watch as
She soaked into the morning paper
And the only thing she left was a sketch of my own death
And all those blank pages, torn and tangled

It was just a tiny cut but it turned out to be so stubborn
At least sometimes abortion isn’t wasted on the unborn

She bled and bled and bled and
died and killed
my son
