Betrayal

“I love you and I will always be faithful to you.”
No doubt he meant it on the day and the year of the postmark.

So little time from moon to rising moon;
in his need for novelty, the eye was wandering by noon.

What is the harm, he reasoned, as he kindled a spark
by texting the identical promise to someone new.
