POEM
PMS (Post Menopause Survivor) Necklace
Is there anything lonelier
than those last old unused tampons
stuffed under the sink, years after
their last heroic call to active duty?
Once pristine white,
virginal as winter snow
Now growing dingy, yellowed
their little wrappers frayed and worn,
musty and damp from leaky plumbing
They wait silently in their box
Hoping against hope.
Now proudly they serve once more
standing tall, their little chests
puffed out fluffed out
scruffy as that discarded velveteen rabbit
Once more revered...treasure
taken out to share.
Empty nest syndrome?
Au contraire!
What do women really want?
More accessories to wear!
