The Shape of the Shofar

it is a wonderĀ 

the shofar
is shapedĀ 
like the inside
of an ear
Ā 
because at the moment
we are blasted with sound
Ā 
and our whole world becomes the ancient voice,
longing
calling
demanding
Ā 
we are meant to listen to whom is below noise
Ā 
and there, underneath the usual commands
and allegiances
Ā 
is Torah
listening and weeping
in all the invisible, eternal ink
