“The Morning After Roe”: a Poem

The morning after the Roe leak

I wash a crime scene

out of my bed sheets.

I cry with America,

Red.

I run into a friend

in my dorm’s laundry room.

He does not understand 

the worry lines 

or the stains.

He forgets women bleed

for him.

I think that

he forgets 

“Woman” 

is me.
