Love Poem: Zen

Zen

I like it when animals are 
Snouts in deep, 
rummaging through their fur,
cleaning themselves,
abruptly after meal or sleep. 
Like an old woman at a sale,
digging through a purse, 
come highwater or hell.
Remembering where they left off
by hydrosortic layer.
Making that snorting sound,
like a pig after a Truffle.
Shake like a Hen after a feather ruffle.
Then they look at you cross eyed a few seconds, 
switch positions, and breathe in,
and at it again. 
Zen
