Kvothe - Name of the Wind
a great river-smoot
h stone
The Waystone was his just as
It was in the weight
of the black stone hearth that
the third silence was his
held the head of a longdead fire
the dark hours of the night
If there had been music - but no
It was the slow back and forth
Of course there was no music
The Waystone Inn lay in silence
and it was a silence of 3 parts
In fact there were
The most obvious part was
a hollow - echoing quiet
It was the patient
This was appropriate
as it was
of a white linen cloth rubbing
none of these things
and so the silence remained
along the grain of the bar
Inside the Waystone - a pair
made by things that were lacking
If there had been a wind
of men huddled at one
it would have sighed through
the trees - set the inn's sign
the greatest silence of the 3
and it was in the hands
corner of the bar - they drank
with quiet determinati
on
of the man who stood there
avoiding serious discussions
creaking on its hooks
and brushed the silence
of troubling news
