this new woman has learned
her husband is the ex wife's same
lover. she is distraught to discover
he will mistreat her all the same.
the new woman is looking for
apartments in the city, her cats
lounging in his high rise windows
the life of seven years they've built
now creasing at the edges. in a rage,
he's gone. unreachable. the new
woman wonders who he became
that day on the couches, when he
cursed her and his pupils billowed.
the new woman thinks of the ex wife
wishes she could say, i am so sorry.
i had no idea. but what a lie that
would be.
