DRENCHED

terrifying adventure

She drags herself tirelessly

heavy low clouds

intermittent downpours

blur her vision

in the distance she notes a building

perhaps a safe place

 

As she approaches

a sigh of relief on her worn face

must meet her lover soon

she steps inside a domed structure

flops down, weight of her body

 

Soaked to the bone

her wet shawl transforms into a soft pillow

she must rest now

a long trek ahead

to meet her lover
