Frustrated Silence


Waking early I listen to silence only to realize how noisy it is.  

Can silence be noisy?  I don't know except that today it is

   water coursing over coffee grounds slowly filling the pot,

   the refrigerator hum preserving my food,

    and, my tinnitus companion.

Does the tiny bug running a marathon over my rug hear it's steps?

Does silence know frustration?  So many interruptions, yet never gone.
