00:00:01.200 --> 00:00:03.720 align:middle line:90%
The second of "The Lauds."

00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:09.000 align:middle line:84%
"Crisp morning of the harvest,
starch gone out of strictures.

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:13.080 align:middle line:84%
We oven our abundance,
surreptitious jubilee

00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.530 align:middle line:84%
of heathens, count
them to infinity.

00:00:16.530 --> 00:00:21.090 align:middle line:84%
She left nothing in the
wake of nothing as she left.

00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:25.800 align:middle line:84%
Loved ones stood in place,
a modest and predictable,

00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.170 align:middle line:90%
unceremonial departure--

00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:29.970 align:middle line:90%
deporteure.

00:00:29.970 --> 00:00:34.500 align:middle line:84%
How custom chance reflection,
worthy of Narcissus,

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:39.870 align:middle line:84%
bones of face in frigid water,
protection of the principle

00:00:39.870 --> 00:00:41.940 align:middle line:90%
past living daylight.

00:00:41.940 --> 00:00:46.710 align:middle line:84%
Everyone goes home sad with
nothing to look forward to.

00:00:46.710 --> 00:00:50.160 align:middle line:84%
Ephemera casts brave
and beautiful shadows

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:53.790 align:middle line:84%
just before we walk
beneath and through them.

00:00:53.790 --> 00:00:57.330 align:middle line:84%
Sunlight broken
lacily by lustrous

00:00:57.330 --> 00:01:02.190 align:middle line:84%
leaves thinning to pair Autumn's
Titian color of a mother's hair

00:01:02.190 --> 00:01:06.540 align:middle line:84%
light as the sun's
diminuendo softens happiness.

00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:11.400 align:middle line:84%
And cool white evening pauses
so the ribbon birds softly

00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.370 align:middle line:84%
breath test presence
amidst softest

00:01:14.370 --> 00:01:18.150 align:middle line:84%
place, one after
the next in form

00:01:18.150 --> 00:01:22.560 align:middle line:84%
of speaking gesture
via tonal piece

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:27.000 align:middle line:84%
onto the waves of one
another, all growth gone mild,

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.300 align:middle line:84%
all altruistic
penance blind with

00:01:30.300 --> 00:01:33.030 align:middle line:84%
thought until the
jade of lustrous life

00:01:33.030 --> 00:01:36.180 align:middle line:84%
is settled in the heart
again with the illusion

00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:40.710 align:middle line:84%
of sufficiency implanted where
the loft brushes the ceiling

00:01:40.710 --> 00:01:44.430 align:middle line:84%
and the tenor chooses
grief over contentment.

00:01:44.430 --> 00:01:49.500 align:middle line:84%
You believe contagious here
in heaven at its quiet-most.

00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:52.050 align:middle line:84%
Hard work done
beyond the daylight.

00:01:52.050 --> 00:01:56.400 align:middle line:84%
And a fire and open pit,
the dazzling jamboree

00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.250 align:middle line:84%
of flittering light
to talk before.

00:01:59.250 --> 00:02:02.550 align:middle line:84%
Be warm together,
hold a mug of tea,

00:02:02.550 --> 00:02:05.610 align:middle line:84%
explain the stars
back to the selves,

00:02:05.610 --> 00:02:09.300 align:middle line:84%
arriving and
disintegrating and evolving

00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:13.680 align:middle line:84%
in the mantric bowl of summer
near the head of speech,

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:18.360 align:middle line:84%
a dazzling crackle amid
quiet and the few birds

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.230 align:middle line:90%
just before we sleep.

00:02:21.230 --> 00:02:23.000 align:middle line:90%
