The dog gets loose
February 7, 2001
February rain has uncovered
all the winter tracks,
etched out icy prints to reveal
bare patches, sodden ruts,
and the day warm enough
to delight my hound's nose -
crisscrossing the rich clues
he's working up
all the stories of winter -
three days will hardly be enough.
