poem in praise of menstruation

if there is a river

more beautiful than this

bright as the blood

red edge of the moon if

 

there is a river

more faithful than this

returning each month

to the same delta if there

 

is a river

braver than this

coming and coming in a surge

of passion, of pain if there is

 

a river

more ancient than this

daughter of eve

mother of cain and of abel if there is in

 

the universe such a river if

there is some where water

more powerful than this wild

water

pray that it flows also

through animals

beautiful and faithful and ancient

and female and brave
