#BlogElul Day 7 :Understand
Unwritten Letter
I don’t understand quantum physics
and I squeaked by in calculus
I can’t figure out directions
that come in boxes assuring me
that with only a screwdriver
I can put together an item with
too many pieces that look alike
I do understand how to solve
a crossword puzzle, how to cook ratatouille,
how to write a poem, how to read a poem
how to photograph the dew on a leaf,
how to teach a class, yet
I do not understand your silence
If we could meet over a pizza
or share a glass of white wine
and a plate of gourmet cheese
and talk about words— those
said and those unsaid
Perhaps we could find
new words to understand
the torn places, to repair
with new words
