flew into her house, she was
on the phone with me,
our first phone call
as we began to know
one another.
she screamed
and grabbed
a broom. i told her
to open the doors,
maybe it will fly out.
but what if more bats
fly in, she said.
or other animals come
strolling into the house.
i live in the woods,
by the water.
snakes are everywhere.
fox and deer,
possum and skunks.
i should have taken
the call
as a warning, but i stuck
it out,
as i usually do. that one
bat
was a clue.
