their dirty work

there are thieves among us.

robbers.
burglars.

safe crackers.

they slip in so easily
in the dead of night,
to take our money,
our jewels,
the possessions we've
accumulated
throughout our life.

our tender hearts.

they hardly make a sound
as they turn
the dial,
pry open a window
and
do their dirty work.

in the day they seem so nice.
