This is called "Eye of Heart."

00:00:03.210 --> 00:00:05.970 align:middle line:84%
"Because I was
whipped as a child

00:00:05.970 --> 00:00:09.000 align:middle line:84%
frequently by a
mother so bewildered

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.880 align:middle line:84%
by her passion, her
generous hunger,

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:17.040 align:middle line:84%
she would freak at the swell
of her, even her love for me,

00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:21.240 align:middle line:84%
alone in the small house of
our room by the metropolis,

00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:26.730 align:middle line:84%
and fling me the frantic flap of
her hand as if some power in me

00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:32.970 align:middle line:84%
to say I want brought the
unbearable also to her lips.

00:00:32.970 --> 00:00:35.700 align:middle line:84%
And as it didn't
hurt nearly as much

00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:38.940 align:middle line:84%
as her distress imagined
it and set the set,

00:00:38.940 --> 00:00:41.850 align:middle line:84%
I grew up longing
for consummation

00:00:41.850 --> 00:00:46.740 align:middle line:84%
as she did, beyond endurance,
tenderness, acceptance

00:00:46.740 --> 00:00:49.350 align:middle line:84%
of the large
insatiable that grows

00:00:49.350 --> 00:00:55.380 align:middle line:84%
so small and grateful if
allowed its portion of sun,

00:00:55.380 --> 00:00:58.140 align:middle line:84%
so that the images
that led me down,

00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:02.460 align:middle line:84%
the spiral of forgetting self
and listing, like a phenomenon

00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:05.970 align:middle line:84%
in the grip of its weather,
dazzling or threatening

00:01:05.970 --> 00:01:10.590 align:middle line:84%
but free of civilization
were the links whereby

00:01:10.590 --> 00:01:15.390 align:middle line:84%
her terror made good its
promise to annihilate my will,

00:01:15.390 --> 00:01:16.500 align:middle line:90%
her will.

00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:21.330 align:middle line:84%
I couldn't tell the
difference then, as now.

00:01:21.330 --> 00:01:25.140 align:middle line:84%
When making love, I
can breathe in forever

00:01:25.140 --> 00:01:30.150 align:middle line:84%
on that rise, indefinite plateau
whose briefness like an eye

00:01:30.150 --> 00:01:36.530 align:middle line:84%
is unself-conscious, and the rim
of the horizon its known line."
