I remember a kinnie star album on which one of the songs started with a message left on her answering machine: I'm bleeding...I'm bleeding!
It wasn't someone calling from the ER,
it was a woman rejoicing.
It also didn't seem like rejoice due to a "natural monthly pregnancy test".
I don't think it was because she took the day off work, or because she felt "inadequate", "unsanitary", or "normal but a curse".
Rejoice.
sacred rejoice; humanist rejoice; anthropological rejoice; modern rejoice; feminist rejoice; anti-feminist rejoice;
But rejoice regardless
Not unclean, incapable, weak, a lesser species,
Normal, unique, honourable
and my blood does not change colour with my mood. I am red.
