tell me if this is all true

Armadillo 
        

Deep in the unlit palm scrub, a rustling
  wedded to the ground and me with my
sorry light searching. Armadillo, half
  blind, not yet stupid with fear, tough-
skinned like my heart which whispers
  through its sack at the sight of you: I am
feeling small and unlikely myself. This
  is about what I cannot know. It’s about
you, who are beautiful, and a god if there can
  be a god. I have many questions. If I find
I must speak, I swear I’ll turn my light off.
  I’ll ask about the world, but do it softly.
