the deadbolt

i have a bad dream
about my
ex wife and her boyfriend
carlos coming into my house
after i
die and taking everything
i own.
i wake up shaking,
in a cold sweat, my heart
beating like a rabbit's.
i look around
the room and see nothing
but shadows.
i go down stairs,
look out the peephole,
then turn the deadbolt
to lock the door.
