I was at your house, waiting for you to come home
The house was in a different neighborhood,
it was in a cul-de-sac
These dogs used to be mine,
I couldn’t remember their names
I kept pulling guns from my waistband,
I never owned them
There were dark clouds and the rain started
I had to shut the open windows
Your car appeared in the driveway,
but backed out when you saw me
Some of the windows wouldn’t stay closed,
all of the hardware was shattered
Rain was falling in the kitchen,
it was coming through the skylight
I looked for the rod to close it but it was gone
Water poured through the walls
These dogs, they looked familiar
