00:00:01.380 --> 00:00:03.277 align:middle line:84%
The last-- next to
the last one then.

00:00:03.277 --> 00:00:04.110 align:middle line:90%
I'll read you to it.

00:00:04.110 --> 00:00:06.210 align:middle line:84%
But this is-- I won't
announce the second one.

00:00:06.210 --> 00:00:08.260 align:middle line:84%
I'll just pause
and read it to you.

00:00:08.260 --> 00:00:13.150 align:middle line:84%
This one's called
"Song of Returnings"

00:00:13.150 --> 00:00:15.970 align:middle line:84%
"All the bones of the
horses rise in moonlight

00:00:15.970 --> 00:00:20.140 align:middle line:84%
on the flatlands and
hillsides, dropping from trees,

00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:23.500 align:middle line:84%
squeezing out from under
rocks, disengaging themselves

00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:26.230 align:middle line:84%
from the Earth and things
that live from the Earth.

00:00:26.230 --> 00:00:28.090 align:middle line:84%
And the scattered
uniforms assembled

00:00:28.090 --> 00:00:31.480 align:middle line:84%
to the sounds of bugling
come back from the stars.

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:33.340 align:middle line:84%
And what is rotted
into dust reforms

00:00:33.340 --> 00:00:35.890 align:middle line:84%
with a furious sound of
whirlwinds tearing the faces

00:00:35.890 --> 00:00:37.930 align:middle line:90%
from the astonished living.

00:00:37.930 --> 00:00:40.930 align:middle line:84%
And gold flows molten
from the mouth of Cortez

00:00:40.930 --> 00:00:44.470 align:middle line:84%
and returns to the stones
and the water and the air.

00:00:44.470 --> 00:00:47.470 align:middle line:84%
And the redwoods
collapse back into cones.

00:00:47.470 --> 00:00:49.360 align:middle line:84%
And Christ is pried
from the cross

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:51.580 align:middle line:84%
and flogged and spat
upon and let loose

00:00:51.580 --> 00:00:53.890 align:middle line:84%
among fishermen who
scatter to their ships

00:00:53.890 --> 00:00:57.610 align:middle line:84%
and enters his mother's womb
and enters into the stars.

00:00:57.610 --> 00:01:01.150 align:middle line:84%
And Babylon reassembles and
Sodom and Gomorrah reassemble

00:01:01.150 --> 00:01:04.940 align:middle line:84%
and David sings then bubbles
in his mother's arms.

00:01:04.940 --> 00:01:09.070 align:middle line:84%
And all living things return
to their sources and the waters

00:01:09.070 --> 00:01:12.460 align:middle line:84%
returned to their sources
and the sun returns

00:01:12.460 --> 00:01:17.110 align:middle line:84%
to the source and the
vast darkness returns

00:01:17.110 --> 00:01:21.210 align:middle line:90%
and all things are and are not."
