He Said Write Poem by Massoud Abolfathi

He Said Write

He said, write what you have not
said or what you have not heard

Or that the root of your language is lost in the clouds of lost words

He said to write and the knowledge of writing had lost to the mind all at once

And suddenly, at once, writing the unwritten and saying the unsayable

In an unheard unfamiliar language continued unsaid, unheard unwritten
