Kissing Dynamite - ‘As we wait to find out why I am bleeding again’

I was proud to have one of my poems about PCOS (polycystic ovaries) published in Issue 35 of Kissing Dynamite in November 2021. The Issue has the theme of ‘A Haunting’. 

'Why we wait to find out why I am bleeding again' is available to read online.

Please be aware that this poem has medical themes, but it is told through metaphor, without anything spelt out.

The poem also touches on memory, religion, and self-love - I hope you enjoy it.
