Self-Hating Valentine

You to whom it is given
to know the secrets
of all ages and the ends
and origins of all things
say why we need
the sensuous world again
when it’s clear we do
but when it’s not clear
we have souls
or immortal parts
enough to really
appreciate it or are we
simply on vacation
from a moral world
of angels who have
descended to the merely
natural world of June
bugs earth-worms and
self-hating humans
be a good mother
could you please
explain it to me again
