Color Challenge Monday Red - "WOMAN'S BLOOD" ~ © Tiffany E. Reed

Everyone speaks of
Woman's Blood,
Its sacredness.
Moontime comes,
We bleed,
That blood signals Life.

But what of
Woman's Blood,
Shed with needle,
Mending family's clothes.
We prick a finger,
We bleed,
That blood signals Life.

And what of
Woman's Blood,
Shed with knife,
Perparing family's food.
We knick a finger,
We bleed,
That blood signals Life.

And what of
Woman's Blood,
Shed with toil.
We housekeep, We comfort,
We smile, We listen.
We touch a heart,
We bleed love,
That love signals Life.
