no cars
in the driveway,
no lights on,
no dog barking.
i ring the bell, knock.
i go around
to the backyard,
jiggling the gate
to get in.
i press my face
to the glass of the back
door.
it's empty.
there's no one home.
no one
at the table,
no one standing at
the sink, no one at
the stove.
where have they gone?
it seems like
just yesterday it was a warm
and loving home.
