00:00:00.870 --> 00:00:03.690 align:middle line:84%
The next poem, The
Apparent, was written.

00:00:03.690 --> 00:00:08.010 align:middle line:84%
Well, it was written
to George Often.

00:00:08.010 --> 00:00:09.870 align:middle line:84%
I didn't dedicate
it to him because--

00:00:09.870 --> 00:00:17.430 align:middle line:84%
but I wrote it because I had
spent the day talking to him.

00:00:17.430 --> 00:00:20.280 align:middle line:90%
The Apparent.

00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:26.640 align:middle line:84%
When I say transparency, I
don't mean seeing through.

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.520 align:middle line:84%
I mean the way a
symbol is made when

00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:36.750 align:middle line:84%
X is drawn over O as the
world moves when it is named.

00:00:36.750 --> 00:00:40.800 align:middle line:84%
In the sense of truth
by consciousness, which

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:44.430 align:middle line:90%
we translate as opposites.

00:00:44.430 --> 00:00:49.440 align:middle line:84%
The space we breathe is
also called distance.

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:56.580 align:middle line:84%
Presence gives, absence allows
and calls until presence

00:00:56.580 --> 00:01:00.780 align:middle line:90%
holds the invisible weeping.

00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:06.180 align:middle line:84%
Transparent in the way
the heart sees old leaves.

00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:13.680 align:middle line:84%
As we become more like the hills
by feeling, I mean permanence.

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:18.940 align:middle line:84%
As when the deer and
I regard each other.

00:01:18.940 --> 00:01:21.300 align:middle line:90%
There was no fear then.

00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:24.300 align:middle line:84%
When she went with her
young from the meadow,

00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:27.480 align:middle line:84%
back into the nearly
night of the woods,

00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:33.350 align:middle line:84%
it was because the rain
came down suddenly harder.

00:01:33.350 --> 00:01:34.000 align:middle line:90%
