STRANGE EUPHEMISMS

I have not broken my hand

I am just going through God’s ritual of fertility

I have not broken my hand

My hands are just fine

To carry out its responsibilities without stress

I am not hiding behind buildings

Trust me, if I am, then you wouldn’t be in buildings

I am going through a sacred phase of a promising future

I am a sacred shrine

One who ensures continuity

III

I am not the only one having my period

I believe we are all in our periods on earth

You can’t say I am in my period

I am just being sanctified by our maker

To prepare safe routes for future’s arrivals

Why is it not pleasant?

With such a wondrous ritual, why isn’t it pleasant?

Why am I always treated like an outcast during my rituals?

Imagine a world with no menarche rituals

Ask yourself where you would be?

Know that that so called filth created your tongue

That so called filth helped create your being

So if you have a passage to eat and discard

Mind your words concerning heavenly rituals

You are you because of it
