They will take it to a lab, run tests to see
if I have the gene that will change my life,
one my grandmother who died
of breast cancer may have passed
to my father on a dark night when he lay
in her womb, my embryo dad unaware
he was being nourished by what might
someday kill his daughter.
Are you Ashkenazi? Grace asks me,
like I would know, the needle stuck
in my arm, her question as foreign
as the idea that I could be carrying
a death-sentence gene, that my ovaries
might be time bombs
ready to bust my guts in two.
