She nudged me with her snout

Snot on my knee, wet reside of her insistence

I didn’t encourage her

But sitting had given her access

An intimacy we don’t usually have.

I got a little worried as she voiced her enthusiasm

I love her too

But she was going past words now

Leaning aggressively

Her desire to be close got a little scary.

“Oh My” I thought- what do I do?

My friend said “Stand up”

“She can’t hump you if you stand up.”

Even so she’s a tank and a force

And I wanted on the other side of her gate.

Love is troublesome

And passion deserves our respect

Perhaps even fear …..

But participating in the rites of Spring

On this sunny day in January…

Happy to be loved by a pig of such quality

On the other side of the fence.
