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
