The bathtub is full of blood I am If I wake Yesterday, you Putting men on pause, Who will wash me no happiness
no money
no tampons
canceling
our meeting
going back to sleep
no money, no tampons
I’ll go to the bank
no money
no tampons
heard my weeping
my crying
fibroids
menopause, and…
No it’s you in particular
I’m putting on pause,
on putting out for you
and you don’t love me at all.
no money — no tampons
if I wake in blood
child grown old to bleed
without love
without child
without Mommy
no tampons
—- by Douglas Gilbert
(Henry Le Châtelier)
