Violet Echoes

Put your spectacles on for digital receptacles!
My name is Violet Dahl and this is my place to purge.
I write, create art, and post inspiring things.
Enjoy.

The Moon Inside Me

 

 

 

At school assembly the boys were told to leave

and we were shown pictures

of tubes and eggs,

that were round, not egg-shaped.

 

They showed us flat shiny squares

and tiny tubes that looked like sweets

and the nurse lady told us that when her first moon came

she thought she was dying.

I didn’t want to die.

 

But that was a long time ago, she said

and now girls get told about things

so that was OK.

 

Then the talking was over.

I thought about telling her I was scared,

even though girls now get told about things.

 

I saw Lindsay hang behind

she had boobs already

and we teased her

when secretly we wanted them too.

 

When I woke years later to the smell of rust

my legs stuck together

and the stain on my sheet

I thought, they never tell you that, do they-

red blood darkens to brown.

“No actor I ever performed with had such public appeal. He was as masculine as any man I’ve ever known and as much a little boy as a grown man could be—it was this combination that had such a devastating effect on women. But there was nothing of ‘the King’ about his personality. Just the opposite. Utter simplicity. Uncomplicated. A man who lived on a simple, down-to-earth scale.”  - Doris Day
