Haiku from 11 July

loud unbroken silence
in between unspoken words
waiting for his response 

seething resentment
summer of her discontent
stifling stifled shrieks

the plates hit the wall
wary circling, dodging shards
to get to the fridge

domestic warfare
lull in the hostilities
uneasy detente
 

weekends together
endless appointments at the
unbeauty parlor

bandaid camouflage
weary of caustic damage
a limping exit
