My Womb Sayeth No

My Womb Sayeth No!
All you fair-weather fucks can go,
You can’t handle this menstrual flow,
My Womb Sayeth No!

If you bleed, and even if you do not,
If you have a womb, and even if you do not,
This is for you,
Grand Mothers, Mothers, Daughters, My Sisters, My Non-Binary Friends, for Allies, for Feminists, for all the Healthy Men who will stand with us till the end,
This is for you.
The collective energy of Womb Sayeth No!

Of course it is an internationally celebrated day,
years of hardship, and brutality, and silencing must be acknowledged and conveyed by those who have experienced the truth depths of this perversive world, where “One Woman Killed A Week” does nothing to shake the herd.

Shuffle on strong man, shuffle on I say, unless you are here to help I don’t want to hear this phrase;
“WhY iSn’t ThErE aN iNtErNaTiOnAl MeN’s DaY?”
Oh boo hoo for you, open your eyes, look at this fucking patriarchal world you dick pig, you are beyond reprise.

There is an anger and a hurt that runs deep like the roots of wild oak trees,
Having been strangled and mangled and abused by creeds set out by ancient white men thinking only of each other, disregarding women, reducing us to the ‘other.’

However…
There is also an unshakable resilient strength that has been bestowed upon us.
Cool, reflective moon minds, the balance to the harsh heat movement of ‘man’ kind.
There is a reason woman are often linked to the nights sky,
I will call down thunder, I will call down the rains,
I’ll keep my moon beams hidden from your vapid face.

For all the hurt and all the pain, sisterhood has comforted me in so many ways,
Like Brígid Bandia an Leighis covering the land with her healing cloak, granting wisdom, and poetry, and music that denotes the growth in courage, in strength, and in heart,
A collective hug even when we are miles apart.

To hear my sister laugh, to cry, to scream,
To love, to question, to fight back, to dream,
To hold space, to listen, to comfort, to care,
To show this world the full plethora of womanhood in all of its raw, unabashed flair.

My Womb Sayeth Yes!
My Sisterhood knows best,
They can handle this menstrual quest,
My Womb Sayeth Yes!
