Sidelined

Menopause

Suddenly sidelined. Watching
toes shimmer beneath water,
others dance. Vodka bottle
lighter, and i wonder why
i am still here.

Is there a point?
Once feminine wiles
are beguiled into silence?

Is there a point?
Once curves begin to blur
into irrelevant geometry?

Is there a point?
Past the cessation of blood?

And I wonder why, I am here
suddenly sidelined

watching toes shimmer

and others dance

without me
