Mountain Lines

Peter Van Toorn

In a bad poem
you will hear a sound
but no silence,
only more sounds
full of noise.
In a good poem
you will here a sound
but no noise
only the silence
it is coming out of.
In a great poem
you will hear only silence,
and the sound you will hear that coming out of
makes so little noise
you feel rightly afraid
and strangely full
of a lingering joy
