Speak Now

He stands with a smile
at the bathroom sink
of the newlywed suite
hours after the vows,
behind a locked door,
texting a woman
who is not his,

while his bride
lies on the bed once
pulling down the duvet,
abiding by her false belief
that it is never cleaned
and is the dirtiest thing
in the room.
