the beam of hall light reaches under my bedroom door
darkening in shifts as if little feet are standing there I open to see if it is my daughter but instead find her in her room asleep it is 2:00 am and as usual I find myself awake I am thinking about the photographs the ones I took a few weeks ago when my dogs wouldn't stop barking at this one area in the living room things had calmed down for awhile no noises that couldn't be explained I was even sleeping but now the knocks have come again my dogs bark for hours at empty corners the dogs are asleep now as I watch human shapes appear in the sheer bedroom curtains a moth comes out of nowhere and flies to the door where on the other side someone stands even with my bedside lamp on I see the shadow shifting beneath the door as if listening to the sounds of me typing this I wait listen and watch not much else to do as the orbs swirl around me like bees the moth lands on the wall next to me we perch in these dark hours as night butterflies do ready to take flight at a moments notice
