Nothingness

Don’t be alarmed. It’s just a poem.

Nothingness

my menses is death
it does not flow
it is particles of unwant
not red of blood to bring life
my menses is mud
it tarries and globs
it does not try to leave
useless cells stick to themselves
my menses is a curse
a heckle from Eve
wanton psyche squatter
and awareness is a dagger
my menses is death
pretending life
it kills me a little each time
it pulls me into its mire
        my menses is death
I am not my body
I long to shed it all
I am not my body
in dreams it tortures me
my vulva overflows
gushes mucous red
there is no end
mocking menses
there is no end
I am no woman
nothing
