Breathless Valentine

Are you as blind to me
As I am blind to you
Except you see what's hidden from me
And all I see is your absence
Left to feel my way in the dark
Knowledge of your presence
Real as the invisible becomes
When I can get away from my body
For a few breathless seconds
Or even for whole hours
When we can travel together
On long train rides back to childhood
Or wander off to reconnoiter
The lost cities of the future
