"How quietly we endure all that falls upon us"
~
Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns
years pass like faces in a crowded street,
blurry eyes and shoulders streaming past in threads
numbers slip through desperate fingers,
troubled water running over tangled moss and riverbed stones
tired feet trudging on and on,
they only know the one direction
"Menstruation is the only blood that is not born from violence,
yet it's the one that disgusts you the most."
~
Maia Schwartz
