A Girls One Night Stand
She wonders if it was love
that was made.
Or something less definate.
Or both. Maybe.
She lay awake afterwards
on her single bed-
her body half on half off-
acutely awake and aware
of the mans
breathing.
Her legs lay naked and exposed-
as he had the blanket.
and sleep never came-
but the sun did.
She rested her head on her arm-
as he had the pillow.
and could taste her breath-
sweet and stale.
Tongue swollen
and dry
and wishing for water.
Getting up-
noting to change
her white ruffled sheet
and bedspread.
Looking back
she would wonder-
how he slept
so easily
in a strangers bed.
