Rest Easy


tap, tap, tapping on my windowsill
like a stranger, blind, looking for light
in the darkness, in the autumn chill
and I wonder what it is they seek
perhaps to put me in a fright
or is it just a wish for warmth, safety,
I am suspicious of this noise
and the fingers that tapped it out
soon enough it stops and I see the full moon
a limb stretches down by my window,
scratching and tapping, stretching, tapping
I can rest easy now
