Pink Noses

The sun’s rays break in the branches, are reflected in the paints, warm
the ground and all other living things. The herd of pink four-legged friends is
spread out in the meadow. I see that some are rummaging through the earth,
others are lying and the sun is shining on the belly. Babies play. One comes
towards me while I just sit and let it come to me. We know each other. I have
been here many times. It is no longer special. It’s as if Babette, as I called
her for me, come to greet me. Shortly before me she stops, sniffs me with her
wet, pink nose. „Like a dog’s nose, only pink“, it shoots
involuntarily through my head, „Although there are also pink dog
licks.“ I put my hand on it for a moment. She does not like that so much.
She dodges and nudges me, my hand. This means that she wants to be scratched.
Even I have already found out as a dull person. I follow her request and
realize how she enjoys it. From further back I hear other grunts. Feel good.
Arrived. Alive. Free, as far as possible. Just be pig. That was my dream. It
should be so.
