Renewal (Marital Bliss V)

RENEWAL (MARITAL BLISS V)

Amid the
Slowly settling
Smouldering rubble
Of what remained
Of the living room,

Still faintly quivering
With the last echoes
Of our screaming havoc,

Rubbed her hands together and smiled.

“Well,” she said, “that’s cleared the air.
Shall we have a cup of tea?”
