God, Death, Love


God, Death, Love, Loneliness, Man
are important themes in Literature
menstruation, childbirth, menopause, puberty
marriage are not

meanwhile terror lies exactly in how
one lives with the disintegrating body
in how one accepts that the body no longer
wants to intensify with exhilirating detonations

in how one loves the more-and-more-slaked-ones
in how one resigns to vaginal atrophy and incontinence
or that the blade cleaving through one's heart
is probably a heart attack

to jump from the ageing body to Death
has suddenly become a cop-out act
