her husband calls and says
how could you?
how would you like it if i did
that to your wife?
i pause and say to myself,
ummm. what wife?
i look at the phone.
i say sadly. i'm sorry. i didn't
know.
she said it was over.
you were gone.
divorce was pending.
there was no love between you
anymore.
silence.
i hear him breathe and sigh.
okay,
he says.
perhaps i'm wrong.
take care.
sorry to have bothered you.
i have a lot
more calls to make
as i look into her phone.
i should go.
