"Mariquita."

00:00:00.975 --> 00:00:03.660 align:middle line:90%


00:00:03.660 --> 00:00:04.440 align:middle line:90%
Mariquita.

00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:06.960 align:middle line:90%


00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:09.180 align:middle line:90%
She saw dancers on her pillow.

00:00:09.180 --> 00:00:11.560 align:middle line:84%
Men and women
stripped-- stripes--

00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:17.010 align:middle line:84%
excuse me-- plumed, smiling,
and twirling plastic toys.

00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:19.980 align:middle line:84%
Bears watched her
from weed cages.

00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:23.010 align:middle line:84%
The afternoons
were long and lean.

00:00:23.010 --> 00:00:26.490 align:middle line:84%
Coins fell through them,
whole fountains of coins.

00:00:26.490 --> 00:00:31.740 align:middle line:84%
Silent as dry, flights of
birds, and flights of birds.

00:00:31.740 --> 00:00:35.160 align:middle line:84%
Morning, she coughed up
feathers and old purses.

00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:38.190 align:middle line:84%
And those other two,
the same as she, fish

00:00:38.190 --> 00:00:39.750 align:middle line:90%
had eaten their brains.

00:00:39.750 --> 00:00:42.180 align:middle line:90%
The heart burnt to wrinkles.

00:00:42.180 --> 00:00:45.390 align:middle line:84%
Biting dreams and
icy teeth, sales

00:00:45.390 --> 00:00:49.590 align:middle line:84%
reared over the hot fields,
enlarging with the hours.

00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:53.340 align:middle line:84%
This time, she took her loins
in her hands and danced.

00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:59.490 align:middle line:84%
Duff fell from her hair, tables
rocked, silver turned to mud.

00:00:59.490 --> 00:01:03.450 align:middle line:84%
Slender men lay down
to watch her and died.

00:01:03.450 --> 00:01:07.170 align:middle line:84%
For a while longer, the
bear slept over the hill,

00:01:07.170 --> 00:01:12.030 align:middle line:84%
sweetly through the sun,
through stars in the moon,

00:01:12.030 --> 00:01:14.240 align:middle line:90%
for a while longer.

00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:16.000 align:middle line:90%
