The Red Badge of Courage


Once upon a midnight postpubescent,

Much I marvelled the silent graafian follicle;

Puberty - tormentor of my dreams.

I awoke and flung the legal age,

In a kingdom full of menses

When I thought of the puberty.

Deep into that darkness molting;

On that day my soul grew menstruation.
