Between Valentine

Do we become our animals
Or do our animals become us
Does the animal in us admire
In them something we've lost
In being what and who they are
When I was a child I thought
The dogs were the men and
The cats were their ladies
It was medieval of me
Spinning a myth of marriage
Another playful religion
I was trying to leap over
That gaping gap between
Animal and angel
