Thru Libby's Eyes: Rap A Tap

Tap, tap, tap

I snap my head up but see nothing

Tap, tap, tap

Once more I lift my head but nothing

Forming a frown I get up

And walk on over to the kitchen window

It's blinds open;

The glass wet from the outside

The tree branches are barren

And not close enough to rap against the window

It's past midnight

All is quiet but the occasional sound of tires on wet asphalt

I turn my sight to my right

-The clock on the wall reads after 2:00 a.m.

I take a breath and exhale

And walk back to my seat

Tap, tap, tap

I scowl back at my screen

Tap, tap, tap

Once more I raise myself

As I walk towards the sound

I still see nothing

Listening intently

Following the sound leads me to the front door

Unlocking the deadbolt

I slowly open the door

And looking straight ahead

See nothing but the trees

As I begin to close the door

My sight pivots downwards for a moment

I see nothing

And shake my head at the nonsense

Turning around to come back to my seat

I stop in my tracks in the middle of the room

Looking back at me

Drenched in water from the rain

Spotted in brown and white

With blue eyes;

At least 10 years old

Was the dog that I didn't even notice
