"menses" poems
“WHATS MORE,
THEY’RE CROSSING OUR SHORE…
HOPPING FENCES;
MIXING ******
DAUGHTER FROM
ANOTHER POOR
REFUGEE SPOOR WITH
ILLEGAL INTENTIONS!”

if you thought otherwise—

Light keeps the darkness at bay
Darkness keeps the atoms in sway
Memories faked as much as faith
Raw neurons on a birthday cake
Wet leaves stuck to white car hoods
Look just like bullet-holes would
Sketch me, photos make broken shelves
Till leaping lamb of hope kills itself
Come together and taste some death
You'll be like Seth or burn like ****
Googly-eyed with brains all fried
Notes the secret satellite
Reality shifts under your feet
As your door breaks down, here comes the heat
Pink fish visions and scaly birds
Robots prophesize unsaid words
Indians paid with camera lenses
While the moon loses all her ******
Americans watching cartoon life
As their hands turn clay and rust is rife
Yeah, we all got our own dead twin
Tastes like cinnamon vitamins
You ******* dumb deadly lifeless fools
Reject anything until it's cool
Light keeps the atoms in sway
Darkness keeps the shadows at bay

The first-ever satellite images of you
Stranded upon pain inflicted desolation
The process of coming to pieces:
Nocturnal carnivorous planetoid
Moon in your mouth
They hint at remarkably renewed unfriendliness
It’s the same face we all see
Precious and cracked
Your isolated body orbiting
In its bitter ******
Where no sunlight ripples through
The string dangling between your legs
All the children hidden underneath your navel
Have fled down to Earth
To live or die in documented nightmares of their own

Church bells heard through sirens
Is all hope is dead
Or is it hiding
Modern society sickens me
Daughters being pushed and bruised
Mothers forgetting their babies
Fathers drinking till the pale world falls to pieces
What happened to honesty?
Poise and laughter
More gossip is read than gospel
Is this where I have to bring my children,
Into this unforgiving, unfair, unfortunate world
Gavels bang as widows weep
A gun fires as a child drops hopelessly to the ground
Will this ****** ever end?
Will peace ever be restored?

I’m falling off this rock
There’s not enough gravity left
I stood on the wrong side, too close to the edge
Now, I’m falling, fare me well
We didn’t pay all our bills to God
Not insured enough, walk and run and trip and fall
So, now. kaput!
Save this crazy lifetime in a warped bottle
Which soon will crack for all its solar scrutiny
Insulate the bold things you can never have on stained glass fuzzy print
A half eaten apple sitting on a dusty cloud still has that deified eye planted on it
Globes are lit in insolence on mossy beds
Dreams in armour pick up tell tale signs of cooing sounds very far away
An autumn landscape falls upon the face on a knight whose real name is you
A cruciform gift embedded in a rock only the worthy can retrieve
A lump of coal burns in steady flickers within the palm of hand
Hop out bowl and try to fly, yet land four seconds short of truth
Hiding beneath a rude rainbow and peeping out at striker rays
Cells squirm and turn, ready to burst out soma
And a sky stretches on and on, like a dicey waterfall in ******
One photo snap and it’s all gone!
tonight I watch it come alive at ten to midnite
recalled clues illumine yet don't show all

mesmerized by minutiae
am now a mermaid
on the mainland
mindlessly milling about
without
control of musclebound legs
both manacled and free
minor mishaps and major setbacks
mirror the inside maniacal mentality
currently managing me
making frankenstienish manners
a mockery of the model citizen
I purport to be...
mild dyslexia, myopia, melancholy
hormonal changes, missing ******
mindless weeping....throwing spanners
and all manners of fits
.....not to mention drooping bits....
madness beckons, second...seconds
each day an adventure in
crazed endocrinematic revelry
so tired and weary,
living the life of bleary wide eyed misery
good news though...
those in the know
say it only lasts
for three to five years
menopause.....give three flippin cheers
mercy...please

I was famished
As my curves started to grow
Knobby knees and a little *** belly
******* that had started to bloom
Like a seed that turned to a rose
Hair grew in places underneath
Men started to turn there heads
My dresses were getting awfully short
But momma could not afford any more
My round backside boys started to notice
I felt awkard and unaware
****** spilled over into my *******
Sitting in church thinking of how I sinned
Deep into the night
My fingers would find me
Digging desperately at this tiny spot
Over and over all the time
My salvia wetting the tips of my fingers
As I dip inside
Trying to hush my moans
Yet they escape
I wish I could taste my own
Squeezing my thighs
I was taught this is wrong
But this thrist is something I need
This obsession is the only thing I have
Into the dark with quiet thoughts and a carnal need

you never could get along with those nocturnal visitations
which try to lull your reason and make soft
reality
inside trappings of my broken sleep, the gallops of your petulance
gets traction in the volleys of your tirades
and I wear your influence like a triple metaphor on ******
highly magnetic and so giving
(so, do I have to duck each time I wish to speak?)
the sun sets slowly, in defiance of the sky
and slyly seeps its blazing colour trail
evening birds come to roost inside my closing eyelids
and there, they wrestle throughout the night
jostling for a space they believe is theirs
they bite and peck in restless dispute
till they find rest in the niche above your dreams
on the vine, grows dusty pods -- cache of independence
and such cracks in the ceiling may prove useful
in the end
it's in your veins where your fractious genius lives --
the whispers of my wishes race along the highway of your blood
chase through your arteries
dart into the mind and back to the heart, where they hope to reside
but it gets a decorated invite card to kindly leave
but you don't see me feel it
(the tiniest embossed part upon the reverse is a modest
ilu)

I must come to terms with who I am. I feel myself encompassed, listless
I drown in my own tears, plugged by my ****** and ********
When shall I fall behind and bring myself to the finish line?
Who shall help me? Can anyone really?
Is not life the weight of a thousand eyes and crippling murderous thighs?
I stand alone in this earthly lair,
I rise above the hands of those I thought dear
My goodness, it pains and brings about an ache so indescribable
What plugs me down is within myself and yet everyone
Engulfed. Gluttonous in its discharge
I am in pain
Not “half agony, half hope”
But a mix and a medley of the muddiest of emotions
My grass alongside my womanly pride
I hate my insides and what I contribute to the outside
I exhale all pain, unencumbered by today’s victories.

We're passing
Passing through the long narrow roads
Together
Like a skirt with odorless tulips
On a bike
You are pedaling
My chin closed to your shoulders
I want to yell in your ear
I don't like my childhood
But you
The marry go round 's still
rounding in your eyes
Like the memory of the grilled maize
Hot and sweet
I turn
my back leaning on yours
Looking at the sky
The sun loosing its light on each tree one by one
And I ask :
The grandma hasn't told any
stories for a long time, has she ?
-no answer heard-
And you keep on pedaling
And I
Always suffering from the pain of ******
Send my regards to the crows
and tell them that the scarecrows
are not alone they just play roles
My doll has been sleeping since
the last time I heard my voice
-Lullabies matched with her dancing-
Say more
I'm happy
cos I put my head on the pillow
smelling my odor at night
-I'm happy-
می گذریم
با هم می گذریم
از جاده هایی باریک و بلند
چون دامنی که نقش لاله های بی عطر و بو را دارد
بر چرخی نشسته ایم
تو پا می زدی
چانه ام به شانه هایت نزدیک است
می خواهم در گوشت فریاد بزنم
کودکی هایم را دوست ندارم
ولی تو
هنوز در چشمانت
چرخ و فلک می چرخد
چون خاطره ی بلال ها
...داغ و شیرین
برمی گردم
در حالی که پشتم به تو تکیه داده است
به آسمان نگاه می کنم
خورشید
تک به تک
از درختان جا می افتد
)) : و سؤال می کنم
مدتیست که دیگر مادربزرگ قصه نمی گوید !!؟
هان !؟
-پاسخی نشنیدم-
تو به راهت ادامه می دهی و
من
همیشه از درد پریود رنج می بردم
از قول من
به کلاغان سلام برسان
و به آن ها بگو
مترسک ها تنها نیستند
خوب نقش بازی می کنند
از آخرین باری که صدایم را شنیدم
عروسکم به خواب می رفت
-لالایی هایی که با رقصیدنش کوک شده بود-
و باز هم بگو
خوشحالم
وقتی شب ها موقع خواب
سرم را روی بالشتی می گذارم
که بوی مرا می دهد
-خوشحالم-

almost full moon earlier
lighting the earth
bright soft light
scattering everywhere
so cold that the wooden boards
comprising the deck
crack and snap at each
foot step
merely soxed ones at that
no heavey shoes
waking after several hours
go by
walking out with hot water
in white china cup
boards snap and
their winter song flies out
hating to return to the warmth
of the bed
would rather be out
under the moon
the moon i've missed,
missed so much
the rhythm of the seasons
bears me not in mind
natural changes since
the beginning of time
but wait for me dear moon?
i didn't mean to be away so long,
and now i don't mean to sleep
inside
away from your charm
beautiful moon
beams down,
silly little one
you can't stop the
eternal march
of this imagined time
tears do no good
resigned
to the deep deep
wisdom of this moon
i sit patiently
when i do sit
patiently
under the light,
the subtle rays
of her monthly
delight
a lone star is visible
this last of nocturnal
checks
morning rushes
closer with her
impending light
clouds cover the heavens
it won't be so bright
when the moon and her light
slip away with this waning
night.
it is said
it is predicted
a blizzard on her way
to cast all astray
dear moon
you and i
will sit
and wait
to find out
exactly what form
this storm shall take!
i love you dear moon
my bestest of companions
but for my beloved puppyhead
well....
you two for sure
but, well, then again
there was Pd
we all love you dear moon
you regulate our ******
those of us with ******
and regulate our charms
always
eternally
in harmony
with you
whether we know it
or not!

between my ears
blood
shot
eyes
I dab
with tissues,
an ache
in sympathy,
trying to conceive,
beer and Ibuprofen
help
to relieve...
assist my words
of empathy
to discharge;
I try to go through
this (curse?):
periodically,
bleed,
metaphorically,
with you!

They sharpen the knife
Not to shape my life
But to make me someone's wife
That will lead to a strife
They want to bleed me dry
They don't care if I cry
They are not even shy
To push my legs wide open,why?
The scars will last till eternity
Have I mentioned infertility
My ****** will now be with great difficulty
What about the infections due to increased susceptibility
I once had a dream of marrying Abdul Bhula
But because of the risk of obstetric fistula
How can a woman not have a child and be a ruler
Then she will cry having conversations with God in a Dua
If they care
Let them not dare
To do the same to my sister Leah
I know the pain she can't bare
To silence the voices inside my head
This practices must be dead
For our daughters to live happily wed
We have to forget the outdated practices of the dead
