the kindness of ex-husbands (Remove filter)
the note
"Did you have a good fuck?"
The note lies in the kitchen bin.
I've just come in from a date with the new man.
To me, our marriage was long over.
But the jagged writing told
this was not the case for you.
And, if I did have a good screw
I can't remember.
The pain held in that note
is with me still, thirty years on.
And your kindness...
