00:00:00.810 --> 00:00:02.490 align:middle line:84%
This poem is called
Sky Lord and it's

00:00:02.490 --> 00:00:05.865 align:middle line:84%
for my father,
who died recently.

00:00:05.865 --> 00:00:09.500 align:middle line:90%


00:00:09.500 --> 00:00:10.820 align:middle line:90%
Sky Lord.

00:00:10.820 --> 00:00:14.570 align:middle line:84%
The small hawk flutters
fiercely upright

00:00:14.570 --> 00:00:18.950 align:middle line:84%
shivering with great
energy to stand so in air

00:00:18.950 --> 00:00:22.190 align:middle line:84%
over hills and
their declivities.

00:00:22.190 --> 00:00:28.430 align:middle line:84%
Hunting more mouse and whom
ally of wind, owner of sky,

00:00:28.430 --> 00:00:33.770 align:middle line:84%
elegant lord embracing what
is known and not known.

00:00:33.770 --> 00:00:39.770 align:middle line:84%
A magnificence over us, which
plunges for small life to eat.

00:00:39.770 --> 00:00:43.850 align:middle line:84%
Dear gods, you are
dependent on the mouse that

00:00:43.850 --> 00:00:48.560 align:middle line:84%
lives with the hills
heartbeat and knows more, much

00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:53.210 align:middle line:84%
more by far than your
invisible school of latitude

00:00:53.210 --> 00:00:55.070 align:middle line:90%
and longitude.

00:00:55.070 --> 00:00:59.480 align:middle line:84%
You must study by compression
of patience, movement

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:02.210 align:middle line:90%
between eyelids blinking.

00:01:02.210 --> 00:01:06.050 align:middle line:84%
Must learn racing
between two heartbeats,

00:01:06.050 --> 00:01:11.150 align:middle line:84%
and it takes you a long while
and humility and failure.

00:01:11.150 --> 00:01:15.260 align:middle line:84%
Each time you come close,
we look in awe of you

00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:18.680 align:middle line:84%
that the sky too has
its stomachs to feed

00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:24.890 align:middle line:84%
and must come down to us and
learn our ways for you do.

00:01:24.890 --> 00:01:27.530 align:middle line:84%
With splendor and
work, you learn

00:01:27.530 --> 00:01:29.840 align:middle line:84%
how to kill and
take what you must

00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.110 align:middle line:84%
while the sermon
rot after spawning

00:01:33.110 --> 00:01:39.800 align:middle line:84%
in rain and in clarity, and
we learn hovering and density

00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:42.530 align:middle line:90%
from your necessity.

00:01:42.530 --> 00:01:44.930 align:middle line:84%
We learn from your
joy in the ground

00:01:44.930 --> 00:01:52.794 align:middle line:84%
as you raise each prey in your
claws from the dear lost earth.

00:01:52.794 --> 00:01:53.294 align:middle line:90%
