Blessing of the Animals

I want to be blessed like the animals.

Not by a priest; not from anywhere beyond the sky.

But blessed right here, by the earth.

And the rain.

Fragrance of earth just after the rain.

I want to be blessed like the animals.

Not blessed at my crown; animals don’t wear hats.

Bless me at the belly.

Bless me where I breathe.

Feed me an apple.

Women, love me the way you love animals.

Dog lovers, cat lovers, horse lovers!

Unleash me and let me romp.

Stroke my fur till I purr.

Post with your thighs.

An animal wrote this, so don’t judge.

I’m not evil and I’m not good.

I’m hairy.

I think by sense of smell.

I want to be blessed like the animals.
