Upon Voiding Pills 

By Lavinia Kumar 

PILL 1: MIFEPRISTONE

Man, White, Catholic, Texan

Prestigious Hell-Hound Cerberus 

Fortify ice flames of men

 

Goose-step with the always righteous

Trounce smugly all equal rights

Flush Pill #1 right down the toilet

 

Rule as arrogant white pious

Crush every woman’s uterus

Crucify all women’s freedoms

 PILL 2: MISOPROSTOL

 Put pistols in every pocket

Abort no eggs. Abort all sense

Fortify that jail for women

 

Kneel together, quote the Bible

Love your neighbor only sometimes

Decree pregnant females un-people

 

Sling out lofty virile lassos 

Circle around a woman’s cervix

Lynch every woman’s freedom

Lavinia Kumar’s latest book is SPIRITED AMERICAN WOMEN: EARLY
WRITERS, ARTISTS, & ACTIVISTS
[[link removed]]—very
short prose of near 90 amazing women writers, poets, publishers,
painters, artists, abolitionists, early suffragettes, and activists.
