Dirty Dishes

“A full plate is married, an empty one a widow”

Jane didn’t mean to.
It was an accident.
He was cheating,
She accidentally caught him.

It had been too long, happened too often.
This wasn’t the first time she caught him.
It would be the last.
5 years 6 months 23 days together, married.
He begged for her forgiveness.
Jane screamed for an explanation.
He couldn’t give one.
Jane wouldn’t forgive.
She stabbed him,
Killed him with an unclean knife.
Soiled from that morning’s break
