If we were really animals
We would need no memories at all
Of guilt or deep regret
But at a certain point
Something comes into us
That separates us from the tree
Suffering into its branches
Under its devouring leaves
And only a few blossoms reach
Out for a better life
Nature becomes a picture
We have colored in
The animals have bequeathed to us
Our conscience and our sin
