sometimes I can’t read the words
you are writing
on the yellow legal pad
as a part of therapy
for your post-aneurysm brain
sometimes I can read the repeated letters
and fragments of words
and wonder
what you are trying
to say
your mind can still speak in complete sentences
but the process of translation
from brain to hand to pen to paper
is far from precise
and when I don’t understand
and the process of writing begins again
I pray I get your meaning this time
for your sake
