That silence is the thing, this noise a found word for it;
       interjection, a jump of the breath at that silence;
Stars burn, grass grows, men breathe: as a man finding
       treasure says ‘Ah!’ but the treasure’s the essence;
Before the man spoke it was there, and after he has spoken
       he gathers it, inexhaustible treasure.
