3794. YES THEN, THE ANIMAL KINGDOM

YES THEN, THE 
ANIMAL KINGDOM
I have seen your shoulders watching the
Kalahari, egging one thing or another over
the desert sands. You bring all things along
so well : kingfishers, the way it's said, the
curling, blinking, lit-up sign which somehow
avoids all records and definitions. I am not you
and you are not me. Sit next to me; let us share.
-
Human footprints, human hair,
human moments, human fear - holding
things together, this human capacity;
and I am, as yet, so afraid to move on.
Some say we should evolve to other things.
I am staying right here, while my happy heart sings.
