The tiles are cold, and
a breeze blows beneath the door
in the kitchen.
Dogs bark in the distance
demanding to be let out
or let in
or announcing strangers who pass by
or warning of coyotes wandering
near the trash cans.
Out in the dark garden
the last paper towel on earth
drifts by on the wind
soon to be brought down
by the looming rain.
