That was a dog named for
"The Night With No Moon,"

00:00:05.190 --> 00:00:13.350 align:middle line:84%
Muku, who lived to be 14 and was
a queen if ever there was one,

00:00:13.350 --> 00:00:17.770 align:middle line:84%
and never had any fear of
any kind of any creature,

00:00:17.770 --> 00:00:22.770 align:middle line:84%
but perfectly gentle, and was
blind for the last six years

00:00:22.770 --> 00:00:24.120 align:middle line:90%
of her life.

00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.530 align:middle line:84%
And you had to tell
people that she was blind.

00:00:28.530 --> 00:00:30.905 align:middle line:84%
And sometimes, they'd
find it hard to believe.

00:00:30.905 --> 00:00:32.280 align:middle line:84%
And she was pretty
extraordinary.

00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.310 align:middle line:84%
She caught a rat three
months after she went blind.

poems for another dog.

00:00:47.410 --> 00:00:51.160 align:middle line:84%
"I Look For You at
the Bend" it's called.

00:00:51.160 --> 00:00:54.610 align:middle line:84%
"I look for you
my, curl of sleep.

00:00:54.610 --> 00:00:58.000 align:middle line:84%
My breathing wave
on the night shore,

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:02.790 align:middle line:90%
my star in the fog of morning.

00:01:02.790 --> 00:01:04.620 align:middle line:84%
I think you could
always find me.

00:01:04.620 --> 00:01:07.720 align:middle line:90%


00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:10.600 align:middle line:90%
I call to you under my breath.

00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:13.570 align:middle line:84%
I whisper to you
through the hours,

00:01:13.570 --> 00:01:18.310 align:middle line:90%
all your names my ear of shadow.

00:01:18.310 --> 00:01:19.900 align:middle line:90%
I think you can always hear me.

00:01:19.900 --> 00:01:23.120 align:middle line:90%


00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.780 align:middle line:90%
I wait for you, my promised day.

00:01:26.780 --> 00:01:34.700 align:middle line:84%
My time again, my homecoming,
my being where you wait for me.

00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:38.230 align:middle line:90%
I think always of you waiting.

00:01:38.230 --> 00:01:40.000 align:middle line:90%
