Unlived Valentine

The blank page is a magnet to me
Even if it only catches iron filings
And the dust they carry
 
If our machines can see
The invisible why won’t we
On our own eventually
 
Be able to peer carefully
Into one another’s structures
With a botanist’s reserve
 
Our minds behold our souls
As in a clear mirror
Or scratches on a page
 
To be deciphered later
What must first
Be lived
