This Storm of Paws

this storm of paws
on gangled limbs,
lead questing noses
above counter rims,

a whine, a bark
or playful yips,
those rough house days
of tumbled flips,

a world so new
so wonder wide,
eager running leaps
to nature's call abide,

now at dusk these settled storms
slept as dark falls like the dew,
a twitch, a snore, a growling dream
anxious yet for morning new.
