Taken To Prison

The blue pile was hidden from her view
Left in a place to surprise her later
Left by an uncaring, unthinking lout
     Who did not consider the mean glances
     Or the rumors to whisper
     Had left the house dreadful
     Broken plates on the floor
                            teacups shattered
      She was fragile
        He was missing
 Hounds were called in, accusations were made
The police did not believe her alibi
Dreadful years later finding his old clothes.
