From my window I see many other windows
into many other lives being lived around me
My dog rests on the bed snoring softly late
afternoon shadows grow
and spread into the stillness
Of the block over trashcans
Overflowing an alley rat
Blistered open I’m hoping it’s
Carried away by some cat or coyote
Of which there are allegedly
Thousands hidden and living
All around us and I’d believe
that. I have never seen most
Of my neighbors so I’d imagine I
Am surrounded by more than
Just hidden coyotes. There are
Invisible forces in motion all the
Time. I find that both
Comforting and disturbing depending
On my mood
