Bleed Like Me

the body of me you can’t get enough of trying to get inside of politely or otherwise trying to control always telling me I have no control policies policing packaging and fleecing theologically replacing the body of me all because you can’t bleed like me ***

Maureen, beloved Sis, we enlightened beings preach & need empathy. Not sympathy. The latter is for one, microcosm. The firmer , firvbebefitbof all/ the macrocosm. Some partners in bed, live, lust ... Are priestly, ministers, to control the beautiful lengths women can take us. They are scared little boys. Sad

Been sketching ideas for prints, crowning the clitoris, and meditating on the idea that men fear what they do not understand and must control what they fear… the Goddess never stood a chance.

Maureen...? If I cut myself I can bleed just like... OH... now I know what you mean. : ( : | ... When I saw the poem title I was thinking Rolling Stones but this poem won't grow moss on it (dried lichen to be used as a woman's monthly necessary pad) Thanks Maureen. I'm like a sponge feeding off of you... (or soaking up after)... Ahhh... oooh oops... Jajaja HUGS...

Yep so many men just look at women as vessels, maybe blood vessels, and tend to overlook the plain truth, you cannot have one sex without the other, which in my book makes us all equal, good one super Mo, now your rocking again, cheers David

"Only Women Bleed" was one of my late wife's favourite songs. Hard to believe that God of the Middle East established a matriarchal society, but mankind has always known better than their god what is best for mankind! Glad to have your back! Aloha!

Ah, yeah. It’s all about control of course, par for the course. Matriarchy would not have stood for all this malarkey, mother earth and all her inhabitants would have enjoyed respect and we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in, matriarchy was never a hierarchy. xomo

it does seem that way though I never cared for the bleeding part of femaleness and all the pains it produces :)

The history of religions replacing religions, where do we come from where do we go, the blood was originally hers, but she didn’t die, men having to outdo of course, he does. I am so looking forward to post estrus myself! Out damn spot! ;), xomo
