because she was Catholic,
was that the reason
to have nine
children,
was it a sin to stop,
to block,
to take a pill or resist?
would
the Bishop be mad,
passing word
along to the Cardinal
and Pope.
would there be a conclave
of men
gathered to decide her fate?
we were poor, becoming
poorer,
but as we gathered
around the dinner
table, she believed that
none of us
were a mistake, and then
she said grace.
