WHEN THESE BABIES ARE BORN

Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal

I’m upset for my babies.

They’re not doing too well.

For months you've filled me with medications.
I feel my babies are gasping for breath.
I have told you I was pregnant.
But you don’t seem to believe me.
I have dreamt of the terror you have
Done to my body. If I were a man,
I would choke you with my own hands.

Somehow when these babies are born
You will have to answer
For their grotesque features. You

Have been doing bad things to me
Because you don’t like me.
One day you will have to answer for your crimes.
