Tom, this is for your Maggie May; I hope it brings you pleasure:
SPRING DOG
Maggie, my ragged mutt
chases starts
through our soggy spring meadows.
She runs
her nose down
her tail flagging
straight to the woods
then back like a trace of zipper teeth
to the house.
She can smell something
in the earth's blood of thawing snow
that tells her the world is birthing
that young green is somewhere
about to start training
for his summer marathon.
