When the moon is full
and my uterus begins to empty
my body punishes me
for not giving it a child
with a week-long assault
of blood and inner bruising
but even before that a dark
and devilish dance takes place
in my spirit as the Primordial
Dream Darling, my own personal
demon starts to wake up.
She grins, wicked, sharp-toothed,
flicks my sanity with a jagged
nail. When I try to sleep
she pins me down and licks
my neck, whispering all my
deepest insecurities into my ear.
Sometimes she uses my own voice.
