So Many Things Beg For Understanding Poem by RIC BASTASA
So Many Things Beg For Understanding
so many things
beg for understanding
so to arrive at that place
you draw a map
like some hands of trees
veins of leaves
it is like writing a word
to capture a bird
hoping that in touching
the feathers
you will understand
each other's longings
this is what writing is
all about
but then when you
keep an accounting
they begin to worship
you: this not knowing
is itself
amazing.
