Then I read a little bit of
Sappho and wrote a sapphic,

00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:10.080 align:middle line:84%
having been away, out
of the house because

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:14.310 align:middle line:84%
of internal difficulties,
such as not wanting

00:00:14.310 --> 00:00:17.520 align:middle line:84%
to get in the way of
anything that she could

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:21.180 align:middle line:90%
throw that would be dangerous.

00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:25.740 align:middle line:84%
But then feeling
contrite afterwards.

00:00:25.740 --> 00:00:29.520 align:middle line:84%
Going down to the home of a
poet who lives on Pender street

00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:34.200 align:middle line:84%
in Vancouver, which is the
section for goods and poets.

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:38.910 align:middle line:90%


00:00:38.910 --> 00:00:42.630 align:middle line:84%
"Pender Street Sapphic."
You've sent me away

00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:47.460 align:middle line:84%
where I can think of you,
how I love you for that.

00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:52.410 align:middle line:84%
How I see your soft
body so clear now.

00:00:52.410 --> 00:00:56.800 align:middle line:84%
In this way, far across the
city from you I listen to you,

00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:00.750 align:middle line:90%
you are my muse, my angel.

00:01:00.750 --> 00:01:05.050 align:middle line:84%
My love so desirable now
fresh air treats my skin.

00:01:05.050 --> 00:01:07.500 align:middle line:84%
Now my eyes closed
as they should always

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.310 align:middle line:90%
open to your face.

00:01:10.310 --> 00:01:11.315 align:middle line:90%
