Matisse's Dog

J.A. Spahr-Summers's picture
October 10, 2007 - 1:00am — J.A. Spahr-Summers

Old red belly
is napping
sunning himself
sunny side up
a splash on the patio
white and blue
and gray
he is
snoring I think he
lounges in the nude
in the sunshine
his legs splayed
like leaning fence posts
his eyes like saucers
jet black yet
complicatedly
yellow

(Previously published on Poetry Super Highway and in Voices Israel Anthology)
