Women Scorned
‘Why, what could she have done, being what she is?
Was there another Troy for her to burn?’
—W.B. Yeats
Women Scorned
From the shadows, secrets silenced
by violence
with no amends
from vile men,
women have found their voice to tell
tales of hell
and finally
the world sees
that they refuse to be ashamed,
they’re naming names,
they will be heard!
Let truth emerge!

A Minute Poem for Jane Dougherty’s A Month With Yeats: Day Twenty-Nine.
Today’s verse is from Yeats’ Poem, ‘No Second Troy’.
apocalypse
‘I would that the Boar without bristles had come from the West
And had rooted the sun and moon and stars out of the sky’
—W.B. Yeats
apocalypse
when the world ends
it won’t matter who was wrong, who was right
when the world ends
and nothing’s left to fight for, or defend
will bitterness darken our path to the light
when the world ends

I laugh at the childish
desires I had when
I was a silly young thing…
what I long for these days
would make that girl blush!
