sunbather
by Mary Ellen Smith
freckled warm
sunny side up
she baths herself
stretched out,
unabashedly content
in the mornings waves
of sunlight.
She is bemused
for a few moments
by a flirting butterfly
and then turns her head,
her luminous eyes
betraying the mischievousness
of her nature.
the boy across the fence
steals a glance
as boys are known to do
through a hole in the fence.
the smells of breakfast
fill the air
and she gets up slowly
slipping into the house
to beg for a just a bite.
good puppy.
