that knocking at the door

it's probably indigestion.
this heaviness,
this strange feeling
in the chest, nothing
to worry about,
perhaps caused by worry
and mexican food
at midnight.
quickly i think i should
get dressed.
i should straighten
up the house,
sweep up the lingerie
left behind
by a guest,
and put the dishes
away, maybe write down
one more poem,
just in case that
knocking at the door
is death.
