before i
leave the house.
i check
the stove, the water,
did i leave it running,
are all the lights
off,
i better run upstairs
to check
the windows
once more.
they're calling for rain.
i lock the back
door, again.
i move
the vase an inch to the left
on the mantle,
then touch
my favorite book
on the table six times,
then turn
around twice
as i back up,
seven steps
to the door.
