The Dog Knows
The old red dog wandered to the laundry pile
that waits for sudsing and drying, a careless heap
of yesterday's excavations and spills.
She sniffed your wadded black socks.
Her tail measured conundrums
dogs understand in ways
I work to resolve.
On the basement floor
you are away
and here.
