Rain
she sat on the floor
in front of the mirror
leaning on the wall behind her
a book in her lap
she turned the page
she finishes the chapter
she finishes five chapters after that
rereading parts that she does not understand
in a slow race for the rain to quit
when she hears it stop
she looks in the mirror
seeing herself for the first time it seems
hair messy at her shoulders book in her lap
she unfolds her body stand and strech to the ceiling
and leaves the little room where she hides away form till the sunshine begins
the new day...
