00:00:01.830 --> 00:00:06.150 align:middle line:90%
Three, a healing narrative.

00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:10.980 align:middle line:84%
"Fragments attract each
other, a swarm of iron filings

00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:14.670 align:middle line:84%
black with golden flecks
but without a soul.

00:00:14.670 --> 00:00:17.790 align:middle line:84%
I stroke them with my
finger so they scatter then

00:00:17.790 --> 00:00:22.230 align:middle line:84%
relax in correspondence,
in the involuntary response

00:00:22.230 --> 00:00:25.380 align:middle line:90%
to being touched on a plate.

00:00:25.380 --> 00:00:29.520 align:middle line:84%
Against the tree, a woman is
pinned, upright and strung

00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:32.820 align:middle line:84%
with lights or gunpowder
flares and nodes.

00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:35.040 align:middle line:90%
Who stuck her there?

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:38.130 align:middle line:84%
Her body is covered with
mud and at the same time

00:00:38.130 --> 00:00:41.850 align:middle line:84%
possesses the invisible force
of an architectural element

00:00:41.850 --> 00:00:44.490 align:middle line:84%
encountered in the
post-war structure.

00:00:44.490 --> 00:00:47.520 align:middle line:90%
Did I literally give her life?

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.340 align:middle line:84%
I wrote about her body,
the vertical grave

00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:53.760 align:middle line:84%
she created in my mind
and in the minds of anyone

00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:55.110 align:middle line:90%
who heard about her.

00:00:55.110 --> 00:00:57.630 align:middle line:90%
This anonymous and delicate box.

00:00:57.630 --> 00:01:00.480 align:middle line:84%
This imprint, this
mental animal,

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:03.780 align:middle line:84%
this veil of charcoal
and vermilion powder,

00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:05.970 align:middle line:84%
smudged to form
a curtain of hair

00:01:05.970 --> 00:01:10.020 align:middle line:84%
falling over the face like
an animal almost in flight

00:01:10.020 --> 00:01:13.200 align:middle line:84%
but possessed, restricted,
to the band of Earth

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.680 align:middle line:84%
that precedes the border
or follows it, depending

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.630 align:middle line:90%
on which way you cross.

00:01:18.630 --> 00:01:21.600 align:middle line:84%
The woman stares,
focusing on a point.

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:24.210 align:middle line:90%
Someone else is staring too.

00:01:24.210 --> 00:01:27.470 align:middle line:90%
Can you smell her burning fur?"

00:01:27.470 --> 00:01:28.000 align:middle line:90%
