Coming Back Home by Verena

I can feel it
the power of my own blood

in my body
in my soul

I can feel it so much
that I'm getting afraid of myself

so many taboos
so much rejection

dipping my fingertips
in the red of my womb
painting it on my own skin

I can feel it
I can smell it
I can see it

and deep in my heart
there is a knowing​
that a huge part of myself
is coming back home
