00:00:01.470 --> 00:00:04.200 align:middle line:84%
Well, the question is
about all of the images

00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:05.640 align:middle line:90%
of movement in my work.

00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:07.920 align:middle line:90%
And what that means--

00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:10.290 align:middle line:84%
I would say that
that's probably--

00:00:10.290 --> 00:00:12.960 align:middle line:90%


00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.379 align:middle line:84%
every writer has a
certain obsession.

00:00:16.379 --> 00:00:19.680 align:middle line:90%
And I think that most writers--

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:22.485 align:middle line:84%
at least those that I really
well there's a certain--

00:00:22.485 --> 00:00:25.560 align:middle line:90%


00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:28.740 align:middle line:84%
it's often an
inarticulate obsession

00:00:28.740 --> 00:00:34.350 align:middle line:84%
for instance with Cesar Vallejo,
is this kind of stutter.

00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:36.570 align:middle line:84%
In his work there's
often reference

00:00:36.570 --> 00:00:40.380 align:middle line:84%
to a kind of
choking, of not being

00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:42.570 align:middle line:90%
able to swallow something.

00:00:42.570 --> 00:00:47.130 align:middle line:84%
And this sense of--
this movement of--

00:00:47.130 --> 00:00:49.380 align:middle line:84%
that itself and
the one poem about,

00:00:49.380 --> 00:00:51.450 align:middle line:84%
The Music We Dance
To it's connected

00:00:51.450 --> 00:00:57.010 align:middle line:84%
to the wheel of the chariot
of the Lord of the underworld.

00:00:57.010 --> 00:01:00.690 align:middle line:84%
But it's also this kind
of the wheel of being,

00:01:00.690 --> 00:01:04.050 align:middle line:84%
but that still is
something that I

00:01:04.050 --> 00:01:07.590 align:middle line:84%
have attached a lighter more
articulate connection to it.

00:01:07.590 --> 00:01:10.260 align:middle line:84%
It's partly just
an underlying sense

00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:16.080 align:middle line:84%
of energy in this kind of
nearly inarticulate connection

00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:18.570 align:middle line:90%
to certain gestures.

00:01:18.570 --> 00:01:21.330 align:middle line:84%
I often feel with
those poems that you

00:01:21.330 --> 00:01:29.130 align:middle line:84%
mentioned that there is a
great force empowering them

00:01:29.130 --> 00:01:30.480 align:middle line:90%
into existence.

00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:36.480 align:middle line:84%
In other words, when I
write I feel those poems,

00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.770 align:middle line:84%
I feel this as if I've
tapped into this almost

00:01:40.770 --> 00:01:46.860 align:middle line:84%
terrifying sense of momentum
that seems to me to be partly

00:01:46.860 --> 00:01:49.950 align:middle line:90%
what existence is.

00:01:49.950 --> 00:01:53.700 align:middle line:84%
This whole way in which
we are rushed into being,

00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:59.010 align:middle line:84%
and rushed past,
and rushed upon.

00:01:59.010 --> 00:02:04.260 align:middle line:84%
So it's a-- and I have
found connections to

00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:06.810 align:middle line:84%
with different myths
or different stories,

00:02:06.810 --> 00:02:11.500 align:middle line:84%
but it comes back of course
and in different forms.

00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:12.000 align:middle line:90%
