the open gate

paw prints in the snow.
near the window,
onto the porch, to the door.
an animal
of some sort has walked
here at night
while you slept safe
in your home.
it peered in the window
sniffed at the locks,
the open gate,
then left.
the world outside,
the one you can't see
is a dangerous one
at times
