Returned Valentine

In the pre-moral world of the mineral
With its pure gift of the flower
Before the onset of desire

We lived a simpler life of will
Undifferentiated and unconscious
Configured by subtle forces

So we keep looking for the moment
We crossed over into the continent
Of personal feelings stray thoughts

When the beautiful animals we were
Separated out
Into individual selves

And felt it for the first time
The suffering of that longing
To return
