Animal Skins and Language
We are animal skins
around brains with language.
We've learned to give names
to those things that save us.
Empathy. Mercy. Compassion.
But our fur and stereoscopic vision
keep us bound to this earth, this sky,
this name, this life.
Our best hope is to turn our instincts
toward a hunt for the divine.
