Choice by Roger Bonair-Agard [online]:
I want to tell you[rest here]
that I threw my babies
into the river
banded my belly
tight – until the ninth month
and on a hot June night
when everything was finally
quiet, I slipped out the back porch
headed down to the river
birthed them by my lonesome – twins
one boy, one girl.
