Starving Valentine

Maybe we’re more plants
than animals don’t animals
protect their young and
feed them though I respect
how the old ones wither
and wander off voluntarily
which plants do ever also
oceans are nothing
to cross them with
thinner and thinner
coats of sunlight
but to be an animal
you must have a soul
a natural dignity or place
and a clear technique
for avoiding thinking.
