love’s immigrants

had i no eyes to know your form –
had i no hands to know your touch –
no mind to see your beauty,
no tongue to say this much,
your presence wanders
across the landscape of my being,
an explorer of my secrets,
you follow me as i go fleeing
no lips to receive your kisses,
no arms to hold you tight,
had i none of these things,
you would still be day and night.
to a country without men,
to a place where we can’t know
the suffering of the others,
while our own suffering does not show.
