Pro-Choice

Sara Sather

He calls every month
I know the scratching voice.

My guilt rises like bread,
expanding in my stomach.

He donates Southern money
to the clinic,

Like a Catholic
to the church.

The only choice he favors
is his common qualifier:

Specify this gift—
Black babies please.

My methodical task is simple
but the consequences reek of

silent genocide.
