(Sept. 3, 2009) When she comes in through the dog door,
she flings her eighty-some pounds on the rug,
relieved that she need no longer run in circles
barking at her fresh memory of the bear,
cursing away the smelly intruder in Dog.
The rhododendrons close their delicate ears.
The spruces and firs put on a patriarchal scowl
at this upstart dog’s noisy anger and insolence.
