| Notes | This poem is concerned with gender-based violence in an unspecified domestic setting. The prolonged plight of an unnamed female at the hands of a violent spouse is described. The female, who eventually murders her spouse, is portrayed sympathetically. The legal system is portrayed as male-centric and the ruling judge misogynistic. |
