00:00:01.590 --> 00:00:02.790 align:middle line:90%
I think I'll read one more.

00:00:02.790 --> 00:00:11.030 align:middle line:84%
And it seems like when
you're very far in distance

00:00:11.030 --> 00:00:13.610 align:middle line:84%
from people, you're sometimes
very near and spirit to them.

00:00:13.610 --> 00:00:17.990 align:middle line:84%
And I found myself while
I was in Ireland writing

00:00:17.990 --> 00:00:24.140 align:middle line:84%
a poem to someone
in New York state.

00:00:24.140 --> 00:00:28.460 align:middle line:84%
In my caravan, I didn't
have lights or electricity.

00:00:28.460 --> 00:00:30.140 align:middle line:90%
So I had a candle.

00:00:30.140 --> 00:00:32.420 align:middle line:84%
So the title of
the poem is called

00:00:32.420 --> 00:00:33.605 align:middle line:90%
words written near a candle.

00:00:33.605 --> 00:00:38.950 align:middle line:90%


00:00:38.950 --> 00:00:42.520 align:middle line:84%
If I could begin
anything, I'd say

00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:46.570 align:middle line:84%
stop asking forgiveness,
especially theirs, which

00:00:46.570 --> 00:00:50.260 align:middle line:84%
was always the fault
mentioned in your condition.

00:00:50.260 --> 00:00:53.110 align:middle line:90%
Nettles could be feathers.

00:00:53.110 --> 00:00:56.260 align:middle line:84%
The moment they
brush your ankle.

00:00:56.260 --> 00:00:59.710 align:middle line:84%
At the same time,
floods, earthquakes,

00:00:59.710 --> 00:01:02.650 align:middle line:84%
the various slavery's
punch back near the fence

00:01:02.650 --> 00:01:04.870 align:middle line:90%
to catch your glance.

00:01:04.870 --> 00:01:07.540 align:middle line:84%
What is it to say that
among the hired boats

00:01:07.540 --> 00:01:09.280 align:middle line:90%
we carried our bodies well?

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:13.870 align:middle line:84%
Crack, jokes, left the gaps
in our lives and not the page.

00:01:13.870 --> 00:01:18.940 align:middle line:84%
This far to learn, the boat
does not touch the water.

00:01:18.940 --> 00:01:23.290 align:middle line:84%
And if this is goodbye, it is
a light nowhere near believing.

00:01:23.290 --> 00:01:24.850 align:middle line:90%
And I am happy.

00:01:24.850 --> 00:01:29.080 align:middle line:84%
And it is all right to make
a distance of a nearness

00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:33.610 align:middle line:84%
to say, boat, I have
left you behind.

00:01:33.610 --> 00:01:36.720 align:middle line:90%
Boat, I am with you.

00:01:36.720 --> 00:02:07.295 align:middle line:90%
