Secrets

 A mistress

Wearing a black leather skirt

Fish net tights

She winks at you

You move forward, confidently

You chat, she leans in

I've seen her somewhere before, you think

The wife

She is preparing to do laundry and take

Clothes to the 

Dry cleaners

Gathers clothes from the hamper

Take his suit coat 

Off the bed

She checks the pockets 

Takes out some paper clips

There's a crumpled 

Piece of paper

She unfolds it

It's a receipt

She reads it

It's a dinner 

She hasn't gone out to eat 

with her husband 

in months

She crushes it 

in her fist

She throws it

A tear trickles

down her

face

No more, she says
