Menses (The Period God) by Jam Westwood
Stoneware Figurine with 24ct gold decoration.
At a friends house recently, I received the dreaded fitness tracker alert ‘1 day to go’. A smart countdown to an unwelcome monthly visitor. “and I hope the period gods are kind” replied my friend in earnest jest.
A ‘kind period god’ is an oxymoron. If she were a thing, she would have to be the most sadistic of all girls’ PE teachers. She would look like a cross between Miss Trunchbull and Megatron.
So here she is, in 24 carat gold lustre: ‘Menses the Period God’. Maybe by invoking her spirit, she will look down upon me with kindness this time.
