2. Dan

EARLY May, after cold rain the sun baffling cold wind.

Irish setter pup finds a corner near the cellar door, all sun and no wind,

Cuddling there he crosses forepaws and lays his skull

Sideways on this pillow, dozing in a half-sleep,

Browns of hazel nut, mahogany, rosewood, played off against each other on his paws and head.
