Piglet

Piglet

Pink

Black

And smudged

Cooling down my 
Sweaty

Skin

In the

Mud

Life is bright

Fruitful

Bounce over to ma

Covered in

Brothers

And sisters

Life is full

Life is love

She bows her nose to mine

Eyes oozing with warmth

Nuzzles my face

Flicks me onto her tummy
Gates close

Black boots
And

Suddenly
All is cold.
