the break in

there are fingerprints
on
the door.
footprints in the hall.
someone has been here,
they've gotten into
the safe
hidden in the wall.
the mattress is overturned.
papers strewn
about.
there's blood on
the counter, a broken
glass.
the tv, the computer
are gone.
a cut cord to the phone.
it's a mess. a disaster.
I look in the fridge.
the cake is still
there. cold milk too.
it's not so bad after all.
