Pet Me

Content, that's you - in a word:
a dry unemotional nose -
won't weep for anyone,
neither family nor friends.

Everything in your face is replete,
portrays complete and warm innocence:
those puff-ball cheeks,
that soft matter-of-fact mouth.

From the clean fine hairs of your willing chin -
treat us- please let out one long, deep purr! Before you find the next can of worms
to sink your teeth into.
