Teaser:
Maddening padding
Padding myself
For existence dear existence.
Failed orgasms, unfailing pregnancies,
Multifarious abortions,
Miscellaneous Clots, tissue, protein lining
Discharged.
Pads wrapped, replaced,
Thrown into reusable bins as refuse.
Though,
Is fetal tissue reclaimable?
Is a woman’s discharge reclaimable?
Is an Indian woman’s discharge reclaimable?
