00:00:00.570 --> 00:00:03.270 align:middle line:90%
"Back Home."

00:00:03.270 --> 00:00:06.930 align:middle line:84%
"The girl who used
to sing in the choir

00:00:06.930 --> 00:00:12.780 align:middle line:84%
would have a slow shadow
on dependable walls, I saw.

00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:15.600 align:middle line:90%
We walked summer nights.

00:00:15.600 --> 00:00:18.570 align:middle line:84%
Persons came nearer
in those days,

00:00:18.570 --> 00:00:25.500 align:middle line:84%
both afraid but not able to know
anything but a kind of, now.

00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:30.480 align:middle line:84%
"In the maples, an insect
sang, insane for hours

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.660 align:middle line:90%
about how deep the dark was.

00:00:33.660 --> 00:00:37.050 align:middle line:84%
Over the river, past
the light on the bridge,

00:00:37.050 --> 00:00:41.310 align:middle line:84%
and then where the light
quelled at limits in the park,

00:00:41.310 --> 00:00:45.675 align:middle line:84%
we left the town, the church
lagging pretty far behind.

00:00:45.675 --> 00:00:48.210 align:middle line:90%


00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:52.680 align:middle line:84%
When I went back, I
saw many sharp things--

00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:57.300 align:middle line:84%
the wild hills coming to
drink at the river, the church

00:00:57.300 --> 00:01:01.140 align:middle line:90%
pondering its old meanings.

00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:04.080 align:middle line:90%
I believe the hills won.

00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:08.220 align:middle line:84%
I'm afraid the girl who
used to sing in the choir

00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:10.260 align:middle line:90%
broke into jagged purple glass."

00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:14.410 align:middle line:90%


00:01:14.410 --> 00:01:18.050 align:middle line:84%
When I hear this hanging in the
air after saying it, you know,

00:01:18.050 --> 00:01:25.880 align:middle line:84%
"broke into jagged purple
glass," several feelings.

00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:31.660 align:middle line:84%
And one of them, of guilt,
occurs to me, just the idea

00:01:31.660 --> 00:01:36.220 align:middle line:84%
that it might seem
writing is done

00:01:36.220 --> 00:01:40.630 align:middle line:84%
by figuring out of something
striking at the end.

00:01:40.630 --> 00:01:44.800 align:middle line:84%
I wouldn't like to
think of it that way.

00:01:44.800 --> 00:01:50.770 align:middle line:84%
It happens, but it's not so
satisfying as other things.

00:01:50.770 --> 00:01:53.380 align:middle line:84%
What I'm afraid
of is, we'll seem

00:01:53.380 --> 00:02:01.180 align:middle line:84%
as if we're trying for certain
local granulated effects.

00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:03.600 align:middle line:90%
That's what I'd like to try.

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:04.108 align:middle line:90%
