A soft knock sounds through the room
Sleepyhead peeks through the door
And sees the tears they drown in the rain
Sees the mascara smudge
Her eyes all black
“We had been trying.”
She says in four words,
When he let her in
Drizzling water
“But it didn’t work.”
he had no idea where she going
but he hoped that his
Matt didn’t wake up
And find them
His concern and anger
Taking over
“And then we slept together.”
She said again
“And things happened.”
Reaching in her backpack
The young girl took out a picture
From underneath the pile homework
“I came to tell you.”
He took a deep breath
Reached for the picture
“that I want you to have them.”
The picture was not clear enough for him to completely
Understand
“I cannot look out for them with college and
The teaching. You guys want them.”
Oh no.
