i wrote and wrote
with eyes i wrote
scientifically
and left the only
footprints in the
cave of the troglophiles
how could you know
how much i love you?
the knee-prints can’t
the hand-prints can’t
the finger-prints can’t
tell
even if they followed
the new lines in their
opaque world
no guess could be had
at me
even if my breath
reached any nape
no energy would pass
(even if it did
i can’t put a
blind lizard in
a prom dress)
i wrote and wrote
but only those with
eyes ever saw it.
