00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.400 align:middle line:90%


00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:13.450 align:middle line:84%
Flowers, changing water, adding
aspirin, nitrogen, potash

00:00:13.450 --> 00:00:17.980 align:middle line:84%
or sugar white to keep
lintness from descending

00:00:17.980 --> 00:00:20.920 align:middle line:84%
upon these purple
and magenta aster's

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:23.710 align:middle line:84%
with broad golden
centers, and petals

00:00:23.710 --> 00:00:27.670 align:middle line:84%
packed in two rows making
fringe above green spread

00:00:27.670 --> 00:00:30.790 align:middle line:90%
leaves still alive.

00:00:30.790 --> 00:00:34.750 align:middle line:84%
Keep cutting stems to retain
the vertical pull of water

00:00:34.750 --> 00:00:39.160 align:middle line:90%
up into the barely charged life.

00:00:39.160 --> 00:00:41.320 align:middle line:84%
She said there was a
tiny charge of energy

00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.940 align:middle line:84%
still like a cord moving between
me and the child, a girl.

00:00:45.940 --> 00:00:49.120 align:middle line:84%
Though its body life had
stopped after four months.

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:52.330 align:middle line:84%
Only one leg intact
on the fetus.

00:00:52.330 --> 00:00:54.220 align:middle line:90%
It's better, the doctor said.

00:00:54.220 --> 00:00:58.000 align:middle line:84%
Nature Knows best,
he said at the end.

00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:59.740 align:middle line:90%
That was 10 years ago.

00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:03.550 align:middle line:84%
He was pulling me along on
an immaculate silver table.

00:01:03.550 --> 00:01:06.250 align:middle line:84%
Larger than a serving
tray, I thought.

00:01:06.250 --> 00:01:11.320 align:middle line:84%
She'd over me then white linen,
and their faces soothing.

00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:16.150 align:middle line:84%
Shapes of words and eyes
I couldn't identify.

00:01:16.150 --> 00:01:18.970 align:middle line:84%
Something inside me had broken
though I tried to hold it

00:01:18.970 --> 00:01:23.410 align:middle line:90%
in read on everything.

00:01:23.410 --> 00:01:27.220 align:middle line:84%
In the White stone picture,
I always place flowers.

00:01:27.220 --> 00:01:30.910 align:middle line:84%
First water, then the
spiked metal frog,

00:01:30.910 --> 00:01:33.670 align:middle line:84%
where each flower is
stuck in arrangements

00:01:33.670 --> 00:01:38.710 align:middle line:84%
of height, darkness,
or intensity of bloom.

00:01:38.710 --> 00:01:41.140 align:middle line:90%
The accidents interest me.

00:01:41.140 --> 00:01:44.740 align:middle line:84%
The Japanese effect
of less space

00:01:44.740 --> 00:01:47.380 align:middle line:84%
showing its wandering
shape between leaves

00:01:47.380 --> 00:01:51.850 align:middle line:84%
and the sudden curve of a
stem dying slowly towards what

00:01:51.850 --> 00:01:54.760 align:middle line:90%
light is in the room.

00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.490 align:middle line:84%
One forgets about
hunger absorbed

00:01:57.490 --> 00:01:59.140 align:middle line:90%
in the fuchsia and the mauve.

00:01:59.140 --> 00:02:03.400 align:middle line:90%


00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:07.050 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to read a few love
poems now to finish with.

00:02:07.050 --> 00:02:10.000 align:middle line:90%
