Falling in layers, falling apart, rotting silk conveys in
scent the enormity of what I’ve lost. One day. One happy day. Maybe a week. Two?
Not a whole month. Never a year.
He loved me. I remember that. It was his undoing.
She was ruthless, his ex. Never laid a hand on us. Never
showed her face. Just systematically destroyed his reputation, his credit, his
faith. Then he started looking sideways at me.
Watery sunlight strikes remnants of a gown that was to
herald a new chapter. It did that, if not as intended. He hanged himself with
my veil.
