Once a month, the moonstorm. Dust in the eyes and ghosts in the veins. The blood of woman is spilling and all the strength ebbs away.

The quote reflects a monthly ritual described by Anaïs Nin in her diary, symbolized by "moonstorm," which may evoke feelings of chaos and turmoil. The imagery of dust and ghosts suggests a haunting experience that impacts one's emotional and physical state. This imagery highlights the struggle women face, with the spilling blood possibly alluding to the burdens associated with femininity and the pressures that drain one's strength over time.
