I Think My Dog Needs a Bath

My dog Cane avoiding even just the thought of bath time

The dust of my house

pirouettes to its own song,

a dog-nosed existence

in gray arrangements—

the particulate matter

of belly rubs and hocks

stirring in a delicate assemblé

of dog hair waiting for the

start of heartfelt applause.

    Your dog is a cutie! And if the indoor universe is piling it on to announce it’s time, then I guess that’s that. I know baths are a challenge, especially when the dog tends to decide when the bath is over. Good luck!
