She is headed to the bathroom
to check for blood.
Praying to God, she looks down
at her Thursday panties,
nose turned up
the same as when she drains the dish water.
No blood.
A silky mucus, but no blood.
Relieved,
she goes back to bed,
falling asleep faster than she would have
had there been blood.
