She Bore the Yoke

A distress poem about women, by Tali, exclusively for Different Truths.

For his deeds
The mother
Got
The decree.
 
His errors
Like marks of judgment
In my vow
 
She bore the yoke
A wife’s
Burden:
 
She will scorn,
Forever,
 
She will vow
To the secret
 
Opened
In ambush,
That disappeared in the west.
