Gracie, our shih-poo
came into this bright new world
an old lady
slow, wary, sleepy. finicky
and most noteworthy
with a preset chiffon bouffant
just like those cumulus clouds
on the horizon, grouped in a gossipy
gathering of stacked white hair
though a few are showing gray
and I recognize the perfume
they’re wearing
rain
