The last poem I'll
read is called

00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:05.310 align:middle line:90%
"Mother Bleeds from the Mouth."

00:00:05.310 --> 00:00:07.440 align:middle line:84%
It's the last poem
in my new manuscript.

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.050 align:middle line:90%


00:00:10.050 --> 00:00:17.840 align:middle line:84%
"The ocean laves one long line
where the sun sets, how red.

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:25.390 align:middle line:84%
My hand waves at it, all meaning
wry, since no one's around.

00:00:25.390 --> 00:00:31.220 align:middle line:84%
Around and around, a scarf
beats in the sunset wind,

00:00:31.220 --> 00:00:33.740 align:middle line:90%
DNA against cloud.

00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:36.770 align:middle line:90%
Maybe my hand waves for that.

00:00:36.770 --> 00:00:39.560 align:middle line:90%
Maybe I should speak.

00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:41.480 align:middle line:90%
The ocean closes and closes."

00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:49.390 align:middle line:90%


00:00:49.390 --> 00:00:52.710 align:middle line:84%
Maybe I should have one of
those dramatic drinks now.
