Faceless

What if you and I were
Faceless
You couldn't know me
By my eyes, nose, curls,
The color of my skin

If you had to ask
To know
My ancestors were here
For years before
My other ancestors came
Conquered
Loved

If I had to smile
With words
My eyes not enough
To tell you
"I love you" or
"You hurt me"

What would you think
Of me
If only my voice
Singing
(as I always am)
Were the only thing
You knew me by.

What would I think
Of you?
