Sweet, Sweet Sound Poem by Diana van den Berg

Sweet, Sweet Sound



Oh, sweet, lost caress,
silver-pawed, earth-drum
reverberating patterns
through my greedy ears

I thought you were silenced
for all eternity,

but out of the cinders
you growl softly
and, after five sunrises,
I again hear
the purring of
my telephone’s dialtone.
