'Slides through the glass'

Black_dog_lying_on_the_floor.jpg

So this is aging: the bare sun, skinned,

palely bucking the dark wind,

slides through the glass, crawls on the carpet,

climbs the footboard, lies crosswise on the blanket,

a spoiled dog waiting to be fed.

-- From "November, Late in the Day,'' by John. M. Ridland
