How can you understand this poem?? tell me what is on your mind?? Nichita Stãnescu -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unwords He offered me a leaf like a hand with fingers. I offered him a hand like a leaf with teeth. He offered me a branch like an arm. I offered him my arm like a branch. He tipped his trunk towards me like a shoulder. I tipped my shoulder to him like a knotted trunk. I could hear his sap quicken, beating like blood. He could hear my blood slacken like rising sap. I passed through him. He passed through me. I remained a solitary tree. He a solitary man.

Nikita’s poetic language is abstract, based on metaphor and parable. His poetry oscillates between two poles, between yes and no, between light and darkness, between illusion and reality, waking and dream state. Modernity and the value of his poetry lies in its original poetic vision and poetic language. “The unwords”, is seen as signs by which people change their relationships and dimensions. Nikita's poetry acquired a new material, the "unwords" meanings that transcend the ordinary world, overcoming the limited thinking patterns. The magic of the words changes the two fields of existence of man and tree, by a strange metamorphosis. Human confusion with Vegetable items does nothing but increase the mystery of this communication, to return at a time when plants and trees establish their own system of signs, imperceptible to the human being. Picture of the world from a different perspective than usual, by the perception of different sensations, by rediscovering the ancient signs and senses: the transfer of matter from plant to human and vice versa, is performed by a strange magic act by "unwords” . Mutual gestures of the two aspects complement lyric: there was “me” and a “him”, each trying to communicate through complex signs. Poet operates with signs bearing the primitive tribes gestures, trying to rediscover the language in an original way. Hand becaming leaf and leaf becaming hand do nothing but increase the mystery of this language with their valences.

Actually I kind of like the more science fiction interpretation that he is actually a tree and she is actually a person. Think Avatar. Then it makes beautiful sense as they each try to communicate and understand in the other's 'language'.

How I understand this poem, the heroes were two different people with different mentality. therefore they didn't understand each other. And they tried to represent their feelings in different ways.
