Changing, fluffing, shrinking,
feeling yourself be a skunk,
watching, wiggling paws,
touching snout and tongue,
ears flicking, tail sprouting,
senses that grow and grow--
until, bouncy, energetic critter,
wriggling out of the pile of clothes,
bobbing over the warm grass,
scrambling up the tree,
perched, curious sniffs,
twitchy, quiet creature;
don't need to think about
how to be a spotted skunk,
because you just know,
you just are~ 🦨✨
