In the tiny whorl
It breaks
Into a thousand pieces
There is nothing left
The stream dries up
The broken flesh cringes
Laden with numbered aches
Some are too strong
Some are already worn
Delving deeper
One finds
The stretched marks
Stained and dark
Not ready to mend
Not ready to bend
The harder the push
The darker they become
Those men-o-pausal blues.

I had a very easy menopause, which I think is deserved since I had 40 years of periods from hell with bleeding to the point of hemorrhage and cramps that left me doubled over in pain. Good times!
ReplyDeleteSometimes being a woman is not oodles of fun.
It indeed not fun when the body starts aching. Thank you, Cara :)
DeleteOh, the periods are such a double-edged sword! And menopause can give the blues. Love how you wrote about it.
ReplyDeleteMenopause is a roller coaster ride. Thank you, Punam :)
DeleteI really liked that.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Grams. Much appreciated :)
Deleteour hormones rule us more than we would like to believe...
ReplyDeleteThey are the mood swingers. Thank you, Jade :)
