00:00:18.610 --> 00:00:25.030 align:middle line:84%
"The horizon in its
pausing" A lot of my poems

00:00:25.030 --> 00:00:29.290 align:middle line:84%
are incorporating images of
the horizon and the ocean,

00:00:29.290 --> 00:00:33.910 align:middle line:90%
and this is no different.

00:00:33.910 --> 00:00:38.830 align:middle line:84%
That's one of the landscapes
I love and return to.

00:00:38.830 --> 00:00:43.090 align:middle line:84%
"The horizon in its
pausing" "Because

00:00:43.090 --> 00:00:46.330 align:middle line:90%
it pausing and the broken wave.

00:00:46.330 --> 00:00:51.190 align:middle line:84%
Because cliff edge as
wing spot and talon point.

00:00:51.190 --> 00:00:53.620 align:middle line:84%
Because mothers hunched
and weary looking,

00:00:53.620 --> 00:00:57.370 align:middle line:84%
plod along the
edge like pioneers.

00:00:57.370 --> 00:01:00.550 align:middle line:84%
Because the many mouth
God drifting by day,

00:01:00.550 --> 00:01:04.319 align:middle line:90%
belly up and in the tide foam.

00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.650 align:middle line:84%
Because the day is undulating
man o' war distressed

00:01:07.650 --> 00:01:11.850 align:middle line:84%
in the surf, nearing
the strand distended.

00:01:11.850 --> 00:01:16.710 align:middle line:84%
Because the void black
star on the water.

00:01:16.710 --> 00:01:19.440 align:middle line:84%
Because the minus tide
collapsing sideways,

00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:22.560 align:middle line:90%
swallows as it receives us.

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.320 align:middle line:90%
Flap flap.

00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:27.720 align:middle line:84%
Because beneath the
squall net free,

00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:31.620 align:middle line:90%
the luminous host went happy.

00:01:31.620 --> 00:01:35.460 align:middle line:84%
Because our rested songs,
harmonies that do not feed

00:01:35.460 --> 00:01:37.740 align:middle line:90%
instruct the day.

00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:42.180 align:middle line:84%
Because go alone
all your hours so.

00:01:42.180 --> 00:01:47.730 align:middle line:84%
Because the day as
measured opens does.

00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:50.820 align:middle line:84%
Because this owl is tip
of night, no flight,

00:01:50.820 --> 00:01:54.390 align:middle line:90%
no shadows sown.

00:01:54.390 --> 00:02:00.120 align:middle line:84%
Because it dire the crowd that
wears your face, your shade.

00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.020 align:middle line:84%
Because that God your pale
host, the living dead,

00:02:04.020 --> 00:02:09.210 align:middle line:84%
has left or lost your tender
body, no, a fine film,

00:02:09.210 --> 00:02:14.250 align:middle line:84%
screen of the world, a
pale gold glimmering.

00:02:14.250 --> 00:02:20.370 align:middle line:84%
Because mystery as the core
of power shot through which

00:02:20.370 --> 00:02:23.190 align:middle line:90%
I will leave myself a gate.

00:02:23.190 --> 00:02:27.450 align:middle line:84%
Because all plans are
lizard step and spidering,

00:02:27.450 --> 00:02:34.050 align:middle line:84%
through which as dancers
enter all intoned as song.

00:02:34.050 --> 00:02:37.620 align:middle line:84%
Oh, now as near the
shore edge canyon break,

00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:42.090 align:middle line:84%
this wheel of ours joins the
fevers and the broken bones,

00:02:42.090 --> 00:02:44.280 align:middle line:90%
knitted so.

00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:48.060 align:middle line:90%
Later as, because we waltzed.

00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:53.060 align:middle line:84%
Because beneath,
motionless sky."
