00:00:05.720 --> 00:00:12.750 align:middle line:84%
Here's the other one that
has a song inside of it.

00:00:12.750 --> 00:00:15.480 align:middle line:84%
Sometimes, poets can hear
a rhythm in their head

00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:17.010 align:middle line:90%
when they're writing.

00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:23.520 align:middle line:84%
And in this case, I heard
an actual melody in my head.

00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:28.210 align:middle line:84%
It's called "Love
Song for a War God."

00:00:28.210 --> 00:00:33.360 align:middle line:84%
"Every part of you
contains a secret language.

00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:38.810 align:middle line:84%
Your hands and feet
detail what you've done.

00:00:38.810 --> 00:00:40.850 align:middle line:90%
Your appetite is great.

00:00:40.850 --> 00:00:49.770 align:middle line:84%
And like the sea, you constantly
advance lunge after lunge.

00:00:49.770 --> 00:00:55.020 align:middle line:84%
Unlike my brother
sleeping in his chair,

00:00:55.020 --> 00:01:00.520 align:middle line:84%
you do not take
reality with ease.

00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:06.220 align:middle line:84%
Your pain builds up
its body like a cloud,

00:01:06.220 --> 00:01:11.460 align:middle line:84%
rotating a collage
of hard debris.

00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:15.360 align:middle line:84%
Oh, teacher, we have learned
that all men's tears are not

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:18.120 align:middle line:90%
created equal.

00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:24.340 align:middle line:84%
We were wrong to offer
flames to quell your fires.

00:01:24.340 --> 00:01:30.450 align:middle line:84%
Still, I must dismember
you inside this song.

00:01:30.450 --> 00:01:35.750 align:middle line:84%
Your mouth's dark cave
awaits victory's kiss.

00:01:35.750 --> 00:01:41.816 align:middle line:84%
Blood is the lid your
calm eyes never lift."
