00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:02.850 align:middle line:90%
"Bloodroot."

00:00:02.850 --> 00:00:05.130 align:middle line:90%
"Our native bloodroot.

00:00:05.130 --> 00:00:08.520 align:middle line:84%
A girl whose loose tongue
wrapped in a single leaf

00:00:08.520 --> 00:00:10.200 align:middle line:90%
reveals her.

00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:13.170 align:middle line:90%
Glinting surface, dissolute gut.

00:00:13.170 --> 00:00:16.290 align:middle line:84%
Each notched blossoms
snugly tucked.

00:00:16.290 --> 00:00:20.550 align:middle line:84%
Hiding in trees, sheltered
from the remnants of winter,

00:00:20.550 --> 00:00:24.900 align:middle line:84%
speaking to animals who
bow their heads to listen.

00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:30.480 align:middle line:84%
Dear fear, a sound made by
a living animal is a voice.

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.900 align:middle line:84%
Sometimes pursuit is
an animal, a swing

00:00:33.900 --> 00:00:36.630 align:middle line:90%
toward the essential scream.

00:00:36.630 --> 00:00:41.040 align:middle line:84%
A scream also is fire in
unpleasant consumption,

00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:44.400 align:middle line:90%
scintillate of wits.

00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:47.580 align:middle line:84%
Dear fear, true or
false, you crawl

00:00:47.580 --> 00:00:51.450 align:middle line:84%
into the made up skin,
your priority potential,

00:00:51.450 --> 00:00:55.800 align:middle line:84%
your actuality is potentate,
your carbon, irascible.

00:00:55.800 --> 00:00:58.890 align:middle line:84%
Like traffic, we choose
when you are in annoyance

00:00:58.890 --> 00:01:00.840 align:middle line:84%
and when to fall
in stuck with you,

00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:02.940 align:middle line:90%
when to have somewhere to go.

00:01:02.940 --> 00:01:05.880 align:middle line:84%
On the slant, you point
it with hard fingers.

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:07.800 align:middle line:90%
The mirror swings.

00:01:07.800 --> 00:01:10.080 align:middle line:84%
My fingerprints
double in the glass.

00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:11.850 align:middle line:90%
The bodies encroach.

00:01:11.850 --> 00:01:16.630 align:middle line:84%
I sharpen the leaden
blade of my voice.

00:01:16.630 --> 00:01:21.700 align:middle line:84%
Dear fear, some fears exist
in space and not in the body.

00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:23.980 align:middle line:84%
In some bodies, you
are not learned.

00:01:23.980 --> 00:01:25.630 align:middle line:90%
But I learned so much about you.

00:01:25.630 --> 00:01:28.270 align:middle line:90%
I could never have loved you.

00:01:28.270 --> 00:01:32.650 align:middle line:84%
I have careened into that
knowledge like a real person.

00:01:32.650 --> 00:01:34.900 align:middle line:84%
I have gathered myself
into that knowledge

00:01:34.900 --> 00:01:36.820 align:middle line:90%
without writing it down.

00:01:36.820 --> 00:01:38.830 align:middle line:90%
But now I write all of it down.

00:01:38.830 --> 00:01:41.900 align:middle line:84%
And it will mean
you still exist.

00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:46.470 align:middle line:84%
Your spectrality exists,
your infinite veer."
