This poem is called
"Blue Like Death"

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:09.015 align:middle line:90%
and it's a poem about failure.

00:00:09.015 --> 00:00:13.010 align:middle line:90%


00:00:13.010 --> 00:00:17.600 align:middle line:84%
"You see, the problem
is no more for the road.

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:22.010 align:middle line:84%
Moon fails in snow
between the moon and you.

00:00:22.010 --> 00:00:25.430 align:middle line:84%
Your eyes ignite the
way that butterfly

00:00:25.430 --> 00:00:30.650 align:middle line:84%
should move had you not
killed it in a dream of love.

00:00:30.650 --> 00:00:34.370 align:middle line:84%
The road forked back
and will fork again

00:00:34.370 --> 00:00:39.710 align:middle line:84%
the day you earn your lies, the
thrill of being what you are.

00:00:39.710 --> 00:00:45.110 align:middle line:84%
When shacks begin to move and
coyote's killed the dreams,

00:00:45.110 --> 00:00:48.800 align:middle line:90%
you keep safe at home in jars.

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:50.660 align:middle line:90%
The girl let you out.

00:00:50.660 --> 00:00:54.110 align:middle line:84%
She prized your going
the way some people

00:00:54.110 --> 00:00:56.030 align:middle line:90%
help a drunk to fall.

00:00:56.030 --> 00:01:00.890 align:middle line:84%
Easy does it one, two,
three and let him lie.

00:01:00.890 --> 00:01:05.690 align:middle line:84%
For he was blue and dirt
is where the bones meet.

00:01:05.690 --> 00:01:10.880 align:middle line:84%
You met his eyes out there
where the road dips and children

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:15.680 align:middle line:84%
whip the snake, you called
Frank to death with sticks.

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:21.230 align:middle line:84%
Now you understand, the way
is not your going but an end.

00:01:21.230 --> 00:01:26.690 align:middle line:84%
That road awaits the moon that
falls between the snow and you,

00:01:26.690 --> 00:01:29.380 align:middle line:90%
your stalking home."
