they're dredging the pond

the police have
put yellow
tape
around the chalk
outline where a
body once lay.
it wasn't murder,
it wasn't foul play.
just someone
taking a nap,
then went on his way.
the dogs are out.
the woods are searched,
the pond dredged,
but there's no body to
be found.
i'm up here.
in the window,
having tea
in my bedroom,
watching the mystery,
there's confusion
all around.
