THE PAUSING OF THE MENO:



Those days of menarche moon & the virgin blooming & budding,
Now escaping with meatus clouds, far off & long-gone scudding,
Vacuous nest now left empty of sown, threshed & harvested seed,
Leaving only arid land, lonely place for unwanted & unloved weed.

 Life blood´s spume ebbing & with wasted saline tear sadly flows,
Dries & with ancient hollow winds of time, away from youth blows,
And disappears to the dark side of that ageing & unforgiving moon,
Robbing from barren womb, her history in the light of brilliant noon.

Sad lonely wolf howls in the solemn dark shadows as dusk encroaches,
The maid gets lost in youth as the mother of marching time approaches,
With pausing of the meno, the sanguine old mother dries & slowly dies,
And within the winds of her passing mind, the old crone deeply sighs.
