I told my husband I’d be here at seven.

I was nervous, I didn’t know how to tell him.

I promised him I’d always be faithful.

I have a new lover, it’s been going on for weeks.

Perhaps when I tell him it’s a woman he’ll understand.

I feel so bad, I’ve only just left her bed.

My fingers still carry the scent of her honey.

Will he forgive me for breaking my vow to him?

He remains silent.

I lay some flowers at his feet and clear the leaves from his stone.

Same time next week, my lovely husband.
