Still More Love Poems
to the Invisible
5.
Whatever You Do
Whatever you do,
don’t tell anyone
about this.
They make laws against
such alliances,
put people in prisons,
lock them away
like shadows.
They do not wish
to hear our story,
our tale must not be told.
Except, of course,
to those ready to listen,
the ones enfolded
in this precious cloak,
tapestry embroidered
of god’s flesh.
