Pressing my ear against the wall I
Heard, “We had trouble enough with
Him last time. Now he has three
Powerful friends.” And someone
Else, “I know, but if we work this
Right, he will . . .” They must have
Moved to another room. I leaned
Back thinking it was me they were
After, but if so . . . Ben was strongly
Built but was he powerful in the
Meaning meant? I didn’t think so
But he had attended gala shows --
Becoming the center of attention --
I didn’t know what else. Small
Duffy – was always alert on a trail
But not powerful – unless they
Planned an ambush. Jessica was
Yet to find her place in the warp
And woof of our defense: one of
Them stole up to our window
And looked in. I could hear her
Growl. The steps of stealth out
On the public thoroughfare – the
Moon shining through our window –
A tormented owl, a dog barking far
Down the street. My three lifted their
Heads as one. I lay where I was but
Reached out for Susan in my sleep.
