Silence of sea...


...can you see the silence?

Yannis Ritsos
Hearing
In the midst of so much noise
pockets of silence. We hear distinctly
the soundless depth. Time expands.
Old men pass over the bridge with canes.
Two bicyclers take the hillside trail.
The great birds arrive.

from Correspondences (1987) [pg 8]
