After Rain

Love comes
unexpectedly
to the young
the unprepared
the casual let’s see what life brings.


Like the wetness
in the morning
after rain
she found herself in a deep damp place.

Alone
next to the boy she’d just met
the father of her
unborn child.

She pulls the covers
over her head
and hardly
breathes.
