Perfume

Early: morning gloried. (… oh I dreamed such a sweet spicy scent said your youngest dog from pillow smiling.)(Warmer nights lately echoed your oldest dog.)(mdnght rmblr texted your younger cat.)(Only because I’m sequestered said your younger dog from under bed.)(We think that unique odor was real whispered your canaries.)(If only quiet were too ruminated your oldest cat from chair in sun.) You hung suet, feeders, orange halves; brought mealworms, water, fresh nectar. You steeped tea, worked. (Still lightly pungent by dawn said your youngest cat from windowsill.)(When you finally roused yourself said his sister.) Striped moon saunters.
