"On a Day in the World."

00:00:02.920 --> 00:00:05.100 align:middle line:84%
We had a grief we
didn't understand

00:00:05.100 --> 00:00:08.610 align:middle line:84%
while standing at the edge
of the low scrub hills

00:00:08.610 --> 00:00:12.210 align:middle line:84%
as if humans were
extra or already gone.

00:00:12.210 --> 00:00:14.700 align:middle line:90%
What had been in us before?

00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:18.240 align:middle line:84%
A life that asks for mostly
wanting freedom to get things

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:21.240 align:middle line:84%
done in order to feel less
helpless about the end

00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:23.960 align:middle line:90%
of things alone.

00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.720 align:middle line:84%
When I think of time
on Earth, I feel

00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:30.410 align:middle line:84%
the angle of gray minutes
entering the medium day

00:00:30.410 --> 00:00:32.390 align:middle line:90%
is not yet built up.

00:00:32.390 --> 00:00:36.290 align:middle line:84%
Our work together,
groups, the willing burden

00:00:36.290 --> 00:00:39.350 align:middle line:84%
of an old belief,
and beyond them,

00:00:39.350 --> 00:00:43.880 align:middle line:84%
love, as of a great life
going like fast creatures

00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:48.110 align:middle line:84%
peeling back marked seeds,
old-brown integuments,

00:00:48.110 --> 00:00:52.570 align:middle line:84%
the color time will
be when we are gone."
