00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.370 align:middle line:90%


00:00:02.370 --> 00:00:08.310 align:middle line:84%
To make a real jump from
that time and that poem

00:00:08.310 --> 00:00:14.970 align:middle line:84%
both in to its opposite
in the other part

00:00:14.970 --> 00:00:20.070 align:middle line:84%
of one's view of how things are
and a completely opposite poem,

00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:23.520 align:middle line:84%
I want to read two
very short ones which

00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:28.200 align:middle line:84%
are both more obviously
the mythology of them,

00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:30.840 align:middle line:84%
if you want to call it that,
is much more apparent clearly

00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:35.790 align:middle line:84%
personal although it's
not one of those heavily

00:00:35.790 --> 00:00:37.140 align:middle line:90%
autobiographical poems.

00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:44.460 align:middle line:84%
But they're both poems
to do with the weather

00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:46.410 align:middle line:84%
that you not today,
but ordinarily would

00:00:46.410 --> 00:00:49.640 align:middle line:84%
be used to in this
part of the world.

00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.860 align:middle line:84%
And I don't think
there's anything

00:00:52.860 --> 00:00:55.560 align:middle line:84%
much more that needs to be
said, but first of them is--

00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:58.230 align:middle line:90%


00:00:58.230 --> 00:01:01.890 align:middle line:84%
the first of them is
connected in some ways

00:01:01.890 --> 00:01:04.379 align:middle line:84%
with the poems I was reading
from The Moving Target.

00:01:04.379 --> 00:01:05.459 align:middle line:90%
It's called "Provision.'

00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:09.300 align:middle line:90%


00:01:09.300 --> 00:01:12.600 align:middle line:84%
All morning with dry
instruments, the field

00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:17.040 align:middle line:84%
repeats the sound
of rain from memory.

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.510 align:middle line:84%
And in the wall the dead
increase their invisible honey.

00:01:21.510 --> 00:01:26.580 align:middle line:84%
It is August, the flocks
are beginning to form.

00:01:26.580 --> 00:01:30.210 align:middle line:84%
I will take with me the
emptiness of my hands.

00:01:30.210 --> 00:01:33.650 align:middle line:84%
What you do not have
you find everywhere.

00:01:33.650 --> 00:01:35.000 align:middle line:90%
