Listen to the world’s best poetry read out loud.

These are the stars of poetry
Too good to be true
Over the hills
And in the brim-full bay;

And this, that ultimate coin
The dead exchange –
Silence.

Unscrew your ears?
Put them away for good?
No. Unstop them.
You’re not a spirit.
Listen.
Dews gather at an edge and
Drop. Drop
On frosted blades.

Even such small
Crystalline vocables
Tell time.

Count them.
Count yourself lucky.
