00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:19.490 align:middle line:84%
And then some poems about
love, called "Poem About You."

00:00:19.490 --> 00:00:24.260 align:middle line:84%
"Just to be near you, to watch
you awaken in your bed at dawn,

00:00:24.260 --> 00:00:27.350 align:middle line:90%
to hear you say, 'Nidlohísh?

00:00:27.350 --> 00:00:28.820 align:middle line:90%
Are you cold?'

00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:32.000 align:middle line:84%
Then you pull the red
blanket over my shoulders.

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.470 align:middle line:84%
Your heat feels like no other
lover's noonday rendezvous.

00:00:36.470 --> 00:00:41.270 align:middle line:84%
Your beauty stuns even in
the glare of this light.

00:00:41.270 --> 00:00:44.630 align:middle line:84%
When you call, I'm all
a fumble, gathering

00:00:44.630 --> 00:00:49.010 align:middle line:84%
the miles and hours between
us, my hungry heart in chase

00:00:49.010 --> 00:00:53.150 align:middle line:84%
of your kisses that settle
in the cups of my elbows,

00:00:53.150 --> 00:00:56.210 align:middle line:84%
your breath blowing
through my hair.

00:00:56.210 --> 00:00:59.300 align:middle line:84%
You ask nothing of
me, yet I eagerly

00:00:59.300 --> 00:01:04.040 align:middle line:84%
surrender my crusty obsessions
with time and cities.

00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.850 align:middle line:84%
I cannot go near you without
feeling the Earth sing through

00:01:07.850 --> 00:01:08.480 align:middle line:90%
you.

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.000 align:middle line:84%
At the edge of
day, when I leave,

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.410 align:middle line:84%
the wind is a painter shifting
the sand dune of our bodies

00:01:15.410 --> 00:01:17.350 align:middle line:90%
on its canvas."
