I said once, to myself
or perhaps to my lover,
that being close to animals
will make us more human:
she sneered at me
for speaking to a donkey - conversationally -
on our way to eat,
my hands danked by donkey tongue...
it is two way, not magic -
a rabbit's foot does nothing
but lames the rabbit --
seek out animals
like one who lost them --
non-speakers
