at night when the windows
shimmer black
and there is a sound,
not quite defined.
the dogs bark, and whine
the cat looks alarmed.
the phone rings,
breathing -
and nothing else
the lights go out,
darkness surrounds me
and I listen,
crouching
down,
waiting,
then impatiently
jumpng up for
the flashlight,
going to get
the gun that's
locked in my safe.
