And You...?

every month
my womanhood gets
thrown into the dustbin
at the street corner

every month
my womanhood
gets flushed out
in the water closet

month after month
i revive as a woman
i'm re-born as a woman
to nourish and nurture you

you say i need
to be a woman
to understand
what a man feels

and you?
