if you have ever needed an ear
to listen
to hear
i'd know that
you'd hear me breathe
as you leaned over to speak
if you ever lost your sight
to watch
to see
you know that i'd be
much more than your eye glasses
if you could never sense autumn
with the wind
with your nose
you know i'd speak volumes
of the incense of your beauty
if your mouth lost flavor
for fruit
for confections
you know that you'd be
far more than an after taste
if you could not feel touch
for softly
for watery
you know i'd help you believe
that you are a part of me
and i of you.
