Death Of The Dog

Rating: 3.5


DEATH OF THE DOG

Summer's end-- time to put the rugs out again,
amid memories of pee, slobber, detritus of the dog,
lay out the same ones we pulled up for her
- in surprisingly good shape-
a quick vacuuming— stains hardly visible.
Meantime, an old ghost sleeps in the corner,
stirs to wakening,
vying for our attention.
