i know all the songs that make you think of me

even when i don't know that you have heard them

even when you don't know that i have heard them

even if i have never heard them

(but i have)

and i know when you are speaking to me

even when you don't open your mouth my way

even when i cannot hear your voice

even if i have not heard your murmur

(but i have)

i know when you write your words to me

even when my name does not appear in your print

and you will never know if my eyes have seen them

even if i have never read your words

(but i have)

and i know when you are referring through you       through me       to me

in an orbed mirror darkly and of smoky blue glass

in fast forward fashion or rewound in slow motion

even if i never glimpse that electric indigo flow

(but i do)

and i know what reminds you without fail and every time of me:

all the things i have never seen or touched or eaten or thought

because maybe by now perhaps i have

oh just perhaps maybe i have

even if i think        eat       touch or see nothing at all

ever at all      ever at all

you just don't know that

(but i do so)
