00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.540 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.540 --> 00:00:01.800 align:middle line:90%
I'm going to do one more.

00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:04.680 align:middle line:90%


00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:07.320 align:middle line:90%
I can't really decide which one.

00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:08.490 align:middle line:90%
There's a sonnet.

00:00:08.490 --> 00:00:10.140 align:middle line:90%
It's a love poem.

00:00:10.140 --> 00:00:13.020 align:middle line:84%
And then there is the last
poem in my collection, which is

00:00:13.020 --> 00:00:16.092 align:middle line:90%
about suicide, so one or two.

00:00:16.092 --> 00:00:16.592 align:middle line:90%
One.

00:00:16.592 --> 00:00:17.092 align:middle line:90%
One.

00:00:17.092 --> 00:00:17.700 align:middle line:90%
All right.

00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:18.200 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:21.010 align:middle line:90%


00:00:21.010 --> 00:00:24.260 align:middle line:90%
"Adore".

00:00:24.260 --> 00:00:29.180 align:middle line:84%
I've learned astonishment is
always a form of birthing,

00:00:29.180 --> 00:00:34.040 align:middle line:84%
so I left a small plate
out for my desires.

00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:36.530 align:middle line:90%
How brief this all was.

00:00:36.530 --> 00:00:40.910 align:middle line:84%
My lips against the scar
on your pensive face,

00:00:40.910 --> 00:00:45.830 align:middle line:84%
a cut given when you were born,
the slip of a doctor's knife,

00:00:45.830 --> 00:00:48.830 align:middle line:90%
and your father ready to fight.

00:00:48.830 --> 00:00:52.910 align:middle line:84%
I told you I believed
in impossible things.

00:00:52.910 --> 00:00:55.610 align:middle line:90%
Then I couldn't unsee us.

00:00:55.610 --> 00:01:00.140 align:middle line:84%
I couldn't see myself,
both adored and adorned.

00:01:00.140 --> 00:01:04.160 align:middle line:84%
I asked to be
bewildered, and I was.

00:01:04.160 --> 00:01:08.690 align:middle line:84%
Every night I speak to the
light that brushed your cheek,

00:01:08.690 --> 00:01:12.380 align:middle line:84%
but you are gone now
so I think the trees.

00:01:12.380 --> 00:01:17.210 align:middle line:84%
You know I love them
because they are trees.

00:01:17.210 --> 00:01:19.450 align:middle line:90%
Thank you very much.

00:01:19.450 --> 00:01:22.000 align:middle line:90%
