00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.960 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:02.460 align:middle line:90%
Death looks down.

00:00:02.460 --> 00:00:06.210 align:middle line:90%


00:00:06.210 --> 00:00:09.930 align:middle line:90%
Death looks down on the salmon.

00:00:09.930 --> 00:00:12.780 align:middle line:84%
A male and a female
in two pools.

00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:15.300 align:middle line:90%
One above the other.

00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:20.910 align:middle line:84%
The female turns back along
the path of water to the male.

00:00:20.910 --> 00:00:25.575 align:middle line:84%
Does not touch him and returns
to the place she had been.

00:00:25.575 --> 00:00:28.850 align:middle line:90%


00:00:28.850 --> 00:00:32.630 align:middle line:90%
I know what death will do.

00:00:32.630 --> 00:00:37.280 align:middle line:84%
Their bodies already
are sour and ragged.

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.570 align:middle line:84%
Blood has risen to the
surface under the scales.

00:00:41.570 --> 00:00:45.740 align:middle line:90%
One side of his jaw is unhinged.

00:00:45.740 --> 00:00:48.500 align:middle line:84%
Death will pick
them up, put them

00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:53.240 align:middle line:84%
under his coat against his
skin, and belt them in there.

00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.500 align:middle line:84%
Will walk away up the
path through the Bay trees

00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:00.050 align:middle line:84%
through the dry
grass of California

00:01:00.050 --> 00:01:02.900 align:middle line:90%
to where the mountain begins.

00:01:02.900 --> 00:01:06.170 align:middle line:84%
Where a few deer almost
the color of the hills

00:01:06.170 --> 00:01:09.920 align:middle line:84%
will look up until he
is under the trees again

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.550 align:middle line:84%
and the road ends
and there is a gate.

00:01:13.550 --> 00:01:16.790 align:middle line:84%
He will climb over
that with his treasure.

00:01:16.790 --> 00:01:20.400 align:middle line:90%
It will be dark by then.

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.750 align:middle line:90%
But for now he does nothing.

00:01:23.750 --> 00:01:28.670 align:middle line:84%
He does not disturb
the silence at all.

00:01:28.670 --> 00:01:34.550 align:middle line:84%
Nor the occasional sound
of leaves of ferns touching

00:01:34.550 --> 00:01:37.820 align:middle line:90%
of grass or stream.

00:01:37.820 --> 00:01:43.430 align:middle line:84%
For now he looks down at the
salmon, large, and whole.

00:01:43.430 --> 00:01:48.380 align:middle line:84%
Motionless days and
nights in the cold water

00:01:48.380 --> 00:01:55.540 align:middle line:84%
lying still always facing
the constant motion.

00:01:55.540 --> 00:01:57.000 align:middle line:90%
