Poor Things Valentine

I am not what my animal
Discerns about divinity
In her philosophy of signs
 
To her I’m just a symbolic being
The way we must be
To the angelic orders
 
The etymology of metaphors
They’re still working on
As if flowers weren’t enough
 
When we’re all just pieces of it
Searching for our places
In some shattered painting
 
I would not want to be an animal
Or even an angel poor things
If I could be a woman or a man
