Purity

the infatuation of my menstruation as you sit
and pout like this isn't living because yes
this is not your treasure for you irritate
the thought of innocent blood stained tears

are passed through my souls heart monthly
i weep through christ an yet you are envious
of my female purpose as god glides through me
as i'm not your wife for these are the times
 
of peace a sign that only mary could cease 
to behold thy beauty covered in such reddness
for i shall not be vain as it rains and pours 
the sadness from a fruitful tree that brings

life right on thy tables where you sit and stare 
wondering if i shall break in all this wondrous
bloodied gift for can i be fooled right back after
this purification of thy body one in me with me
 
for will you hold my hand as i grieve the dead
babies blood shed of my blood or shall you 
run out for more napkins as my grief too much 
for you to bare as i bleed the blood of christ's care
