Incandescent lamps
cast tepid glow
Upon a domestic winter still-life scene
Where she transfixed reads "Lassie" in her living room:
Soft-contoured sofa, shelf of well-thumbed books, poinsetta plant
by coffee table, and,
That ancient sleeping hound who senses competition.
Hound, now feeling chilly, stirs and shifts a few paws closer
to the fire,
Balling up the hearthside sheepskin rug and thereby
Turning still-life into slo-mo of
A would-be collie's round-up.
