Invaders

Sneak beneath my windows
And my shades, on a hot
Summer day, and invade
My moment of silence.

Pause upon the curtain
Here,
There,
Over there.

Pause upon my body
Here,
There,
Over there.

Scratch my body and
Interrupt my dinner. I take my pass away
Water I shower them.

Afterward, my moment
Of silence and comfort
Is restored.
