Dog Walk in the Spring Woods
for Bailey, Peaches, and Scout

Three brown dogs huff and snuffle
into the high stench
of a sump of standing water
teeming with rabbit ears
of fledgling skunk cabbage;
their tails waving yes
and yes
and yes.


Laura Gamache writes and teaches poetry and creative nonfiction in the Puget Sound area. Most recently her work appears in Teachers & Writers Collaborative Journal, The North Atlantic Review and the Anthology In My Life: Encounters with the Beatles.
