The Souls of Animals a poem

The souls of animals
tangle in their neurons,
not yet able to escape into consciousness.
Still,
they can incite the knowledge of family,
lust and death.
Death flicks the soul upward,
each species negotiating its own
uncertain path.
The lesson for us is that we are animals,
with animal souls
which only we can release into
the consciousness of homo sapiens,
prepared for the perilous and glorius
final journey into entropy, refiguration
or the ether that God breathes.
