A Wet Tuesday in Town

An umbrella shaken out in the hall, and the poodle, patient, on the stoop.

A woman with a camel cardigan tied over her shoulders walks past brownstone steps in the rain, where a black poodle in a quilted coat waits at the end of its lead.
AI-generated. We'd rather spend a photographer's fee on firewood. The real pieces may look different.

A fine rib turtleneck, high to the jaw. A cotton cardigan knotted on the shoulders. Drizzle. Pleated wide trousers over the boots. A satchel on the forearm, scuffed from somewhere further west. The poodle, just clipped, in a quilted coat. Rain on both of them. A square watch. Handed down. Something milky at the wrist, noticed by whoever sits beside her. Next month, somewhere warmer.
