We All Stood Together
My brother and I were at Sinai.
He kept a journal
of what he saw, of what he heard
of what it all meant to him.
I wish I had such a record
of what happened to me there.
It seems like every time I want to write
I can’t.
I’m always holding a baby
one of my own, or one for a friend
always holding a baby
so my hands are never free
to write things down.
And then as time passes
the particulars, the hard data
the who what when where why
slip away from me
and all I’m left with is
the feeling.
But feelings are just sounds
the vowel barking of a mute
My brother is so sure of what he heard
after all he’s got a record of it
consonant after consonant after consonant.
If we remembered it together
we could recreate holy time
sparks flying.
