The Door Creaks

on tip-toe, into
the darkness, a-ha! the cash!
he stumbles, door creaks...
waves of guilt, waves of terror
engulf him, nerves shot, gills green

It is so difficult to be a cat burgler when you are not sure where the home owner kicked off her shoes.

Even more difficult if one is a big, clumsy cat! (I ought to know!). Thanks, Caren
