Well, I'd like to read
some newer poems to finish.

00:00:05.020 --> 00:00:07.020 align:middle line:84%
The first is a poem I've
been reading in classes

00:00:07.020 --> 00:00:09.280 align:middle line:84%
around here the
last couple of days,

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:12.165 align:middle line:84%
but I know that's
not most of you.

00:00:12.165 --> 00:00:13.665 align:middle line:84%
It's a poem called
"Sleeping Alone."

00:00:17.250 --> 00:00:21.990 align:middle line:84%
The cry of the gibbon
on the wooded shore

00:00:21.990 --> 00:00:26.070 align:middle line:90%
is the cry of my bed.

00:00:26.070 --> 00:00:29.130 align:middle line:90%
There is no woman's body.

00:00:29.130 --> 00:00:37.110 align:middle line:84%
A woman's body floats, touches
black moss of the bank.

00:00:37.110 --> 00:00:41.790 align:middle line:90%
Her fingers, breasts.

00:00:41.790 --> 00:00:46.470 align:middle line:90%
A woman's body, eaten.

00:00:46.470 --> 00:00:51.350 align:middle line:84%
And the gibbon cries
from the wooded shore.

00:00:51.350 --> 00:00:53.000 align:middle line:90%
