what if it rained

when she threw herself off
the bridge,
in midflight, she thought
about the note she forgot
to write, saying goodbye
to those she loved, and
those who loved her.
she wondered if the dog
would be okay,
who would feed her tomorrow
when she didn't come home,
or tonight. and as the wind
lifted her dress that she
had pressed over
her eyes, her hair,
and the wind rushed into her ears,
before her body
struck the rocks,
she thought about the wash
left in the dryer,
her bed unmade, what would
they think? did she leave
a window open,
what if it rained.
