00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.510 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.510 --> 00:00:04.050 align:middle line:84%
The poem arising out of
the memory and experience

00:00:04.050 --> 00:00:05.150 align:middle line:90%
of New York City.

00:00:05.150 --> 00:00:09.660 align:middle line:84%
It's called, "Violet City:
Aspects of the Transitive."

00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:12.890 align:middle line:90%


00:00:12.890 --> 00:00:18.020 align:middle line:84%
Saw the glass towers slip liquid
through the louvered Venetians;

00:00:18.020 --> 00:00:22.430 align:middle line:84%
the light in thin
strips quiver shut.

00:00:22.430 --> 00:00:24.500 align:middle line:90%
Call: call shapes.

00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:25.640 align:middle line:90%
Faces.

00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:27.860 align:middle line:90%
Each heart has its number.

00:00:27.860 --> 00:00:30.830 align:middle line:90%
Its specific foliations.

00:00:30.830 --> 00:00:33.950 align:middle line:84%
Even here as your
room rises blanched,

00:00:33.950 --> 00:00:39.500 align:middle line:84%
amnestic, an island already in
its piled pulsate florescence:

00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:42.290 align:middle line:90%
speak, ring shimmers.

00:00:42.290 --> 00:00:47.390 align:middle line:90%
From your sibilants, shake mass.

00:00:47.390 --> 00:00:49.700 align:middle line:90%
Falls, you'd say, of itself.

00:00:49.700 --> 00:00:54.890 align:middle line:84%
That virtue, breath tipped,
that unbundled fire.

00:00:54.890 --> 00:00:59.180 align:middle line:84%
Here, even here
contours table, chairs;

00:00:59.180 --> 00:01:05.540 align:middle line:84%
runs in pinched ripples to the
linen's slack, relapsing edges.

00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:10.310 align:middle line:84%
Even here at this distance
these late stations

00:01:10.310 --> 00:01:14.780 align:middle line:90%
that script vestigial.

00:01:14.780 --> 00:01:16.940 align:middle line:90%
Vine, out of what voices?

00:01:16.940 --> 00:01:22.520 align:middle line:84%
Fumes, buds, annunciates
of what dead injunction?

00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:26.940 align:middle line:84%
Puzzles your wrist now,
the tips of your fingers.

00:01:26.940 --> 00:01:31.010 align:middle line:84%
You in whom its movement
momentarily courses:

00:01:31.010 --> 00:01:35.150 align:middle line:90%
its channeled protraction.

00:01:35.150 --> 00:01:39.950 align:middle line:84%
Would bring to the dark
mouth its dark syllables.

00:01:39.950 --> 00:01:45.410 align:middle line:84%
Being transitive, take, as
object, its least creases.

00:01:45.410 --> 00:01:49.190 align:middle line:84%
Into that recessive,
still indeterminate image,

00:01:49.190 --> 00:01:51.485 align:middle line:90%
the fixed interval's, enter.

00:01:51.485 --> 00:01:54.410 align:middle line:90%


00:01:54.410 --> 00:01:57.890 align:middle line:84%
Floated bronze once in
your spread fingers.

00:01:57.890 --> 00:02:02.210 align:middle line:84%
Fanned damp, expansive,
a ponderous sponge,

00:02:02.210 --> 00:02:05.450 align:middle line:84%
in a dull shudder
of reflections.

00:02:05.450 --> 00:02:08.030 align:middle line:90%
The projected at last depleted.

00:02:08.030 --> 00:02:13.190 align:middle line:84%
The image brought taut to
that burning convergence.

00:02:13.190 --> 00:02:15.620 align:middle line:90%
Speak, even here.

00:02:15.620 --> 00:02:17.240 align:middle line:90%
Ring voices.

00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:23.210 align:middle line:84%
For the word's addressed: a
flame trained to its trellis.

00:02:23.210 --> 00:02:26.330 align:middle line:90%
From your tongue now, tease ash.

00:02:26.330 --> 00:02:31.040 align:middle line:84%
Here, even here in
this city of surfaces

00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:36.680 align:middle line:84%
(Manhattan gone violet, glossy
now in its watery uprights),

00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:41.600 align:middle line:90%
extract measure, elicit sound.

00:02:41.600 --> 00:02:45.830 align:middle line:84%
Fumes, buds, but out
of what scuttled work?

00:02:45.830 --> 00:02:50.300 align:middle line:84%
On which extinct
frequencies those psalms?

00:02:50.300 --> 00:02:52.610 align:middle line:90%
A breath's lapping breath.

00:02:52.610 --> 00:02:58.880 align:middle line:84%
Limbs, limbs, that that ray
shot, into its dark alveole,

00:02:58.880 --> 00:03:00.430 align:middle line:90%
quaver.

00:03:00.430 --> 00:03:01.000 align:middle line:90%
