Produktbeschreibung

How do we calculate the weight of the ruins between us? A one of a kind book about the ways abortion destroys us all. An Ending for Biological Hazards I've been thinking of yellow boxes and polyethylene bags I could enter a hospital with my hands up and say I think I'm a biological hazard please put me in a box with the rest I'm a dangerous waste as much as anyone else who ever found himself under an apparatchik's gaze a gaze is that which makes women like me into objects and young girls into objects and my brother into something that would perfectly fit inside a yellow box the way everything we create is made to fit everything else that happened before there is a language of objects I've since learned to speak it's how pieces communicate with each other in a secret solidarity even when they know most will be replaced with spare parts because I think we're all disposable in the end and at least we have this the only togetherness I could manufacture between me and my brother because no one surrounded my feet with plastic nobody went and put me in an approved box with 99.0% combustion efficiency this and my words changing the way our eyes change inside us when we look closer and then farther again

Pro-life readers will find in I Went Looking for You a different kind of abortion poetry, from the perspective of a "wanted child" writing in solidarity with her aborted sibling.
