Friends
Though I can neither see nor hear
nor touch my new companions,
I sense their presence like a handclasp
reaching out across the web.
Because of them, the days are all
too brief, replete with images
that open doors on worlds I never
glimpsed or dreamt, invite me in.
They share horizons, visions, pleasures,
patient as I make my way at snail's
pace down the paths they trace,
among the gardens that they tend.
I want to tell them that I breathe
their poetry like oxygen;
I want to ask them
to remain my friends.
