00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.500 align:middle line:84%
And as you can probably see,
my way of writing about death

00:00:04.500 --> 00:00:07.980 align:middle line:90%
is kind of to come in sideways.

00:00:07.980 --> 00:00:10.290 align:middle line:90%
But that's very much my mom.

00:00:10.290 --> 00:00:13.170 align:middle line:90%


00:00:13.170 --> 00:00:15.450 align:middle line:90%
After Urgency.

00:00:15.450 --> 00:00:17.310 align:middle line:90%
My mother died last autumn.

00:00:17.310 --> 00:00:20.700 align:middle line:84%
My father in the spring
of the previous year.

00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:23.250 align:middle line:84%
My dead, I've
begun to call them.

00:00:23.250 --> 00:00:27.120 align:middle line:84%
Though, the words leave
me only more solitary

00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:32.700 align:middle line:84%
in my dormitory of day -walking
as I watch the shadow riding

00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:37.050 align:middle line:84%
fog drown the valley
and I hear the wrens

00:00:37.050 --> 00:00:41.430 align:middle line:84%
call traveling down
it's instinct ridge.

00:00:41.430 --> 00:00:46.860 align:middle line:84%
Which is quickly too narrow
for my ear to follow.

00:00:46.860 --> 00:00:51.030 align:middle line:84%
Though I'm seeing
the grass shift as if

00:00:51.030 --> 00:00:55.230 align:middle line:90%
with an aroused sentience.

00:00:55.230 --> 00:01:00.480 align:middle line:84%
A little anarchy as an ant
sudden on my forearm fall

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:07.350 align:middle line:84%
opens a fault line between
its existence and mine.

00:01:07.350 --> 00:01:12.720 align:middle line:84%
To move a figure of thought
out beyond my own senses

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:18.750 align:middle line:84%
and then back in again is to
observe only my own pulse.

00:01:18.750 --> 00:01:25.260 align:middle line:84%
Yet, I hope to use this activity
as a measure of the agility

00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:30.360 align:middle line:84%
if not the accuracy
with which I observe

00:01:30.360 --> 00:01:33.290 align:middle line:90%
the living and the dead.

00:01:33.290 --> 00:01:35.000 align:middle line:90%
