the marital fire,
even after all these years
takes her by surprise.
anger hot and tense
searing inferno engulfs
scalding tears leave tracks
no compromising
his way or no way again she assumes the blame.
deemed instigator
without an understanding;
it is all her fault.
somehow her failings
have caused him to act rashly, a burden she bears.
