You sent saying after your estrangement for a year
“I remembered you and almost flew with longing.”
I remembered you all and almost flew longing

Had the yearning one been anyone but you, to
Even if the one I longed for were other than you
visit us he would have driven the pale camels to exhaustion.
We would be brought together and the sadness would end
