Pawprints By Charlene Baldridge

I am a person
who goes through life
with paw prints
at the hemline
of her slacks
simply because
the dog approached
in a friendly way.

His tongue was pink and soft;
his coat, silky; his underbelly,
a mixture of earth and dew.
He was all wags and wiggles.
One must avoid the paws.
Nothing washes out their residue.
