mid-oceanic ridge

it is odd being a woman 
the anger that enters such 
a being over the most trivial 
of items, of comments but only 
on a certain day: a time of month 
all the rest of the days are calm: a haven 
for men, pets, children, those loved ones miles 
away - and yet when the anger hits -  it tears all apart 
and few seem to remember the calm days before and the 
days after - then soon no one seems to remember the reason 
for the anger and it all starts again: smoothly like a stone under water
