00:00:06.230 --> 00:00:08.790 align:middle line:90%
"Dust".

00:00:08.790 --> 00:00:14.370 align:middle line:84%
Face powder, gun powder, talcum
of anthrax, shavings of steel,

00:00:14.370 --> 00:00:19.260 align:middle line:84%
crematoria ash, chips of
crumbling poetry paper,

00:00:19.260 --> 00:00:24.570 align:middle line:84%
all these in my lock-box,
and dust, tanks, tempests,

00:00:24.570 --> 00:00:26.220 align:middle line:90%
temples of dust.

00:00:26.220 --> 00:00:29.340 align:middle line:84%
Saw-, silk-,
chalk-dust and chaff,

00:00:29.340 --> 00:00:33.900 align:middle line:84%
the dust the drool of a bull
swinging its head as it dreams

00:00:33.900 --> 00:00:36.270 align:middle line:90%
its death slobs out on.

00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:40.290 align:middle line:84%
Death dust even from that
scoured, scraped littoral

00:00:40.290 --> 00:00:43.560 align:middle line:84%
of the Aegean, troops
streaming across it

00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:49.020 align:middle line:84%
at those who that day, that
age or forever would be foe,

00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:51.840 align:middle line:90%
worthy of being dust for.

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.690 align:middle line:84%
Last, hovering dust
of the harvest,

00:00:54.690 --> 00:00:58.620 align:middle line:84%
brief as the half-instant hitch
in the flight of the hawk,

00:00:58.620 --> 00:01:02.280 align:middle line:84%
as the poplets of light through
the leaves of the bronzing

00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:03.420 align:middle line:90%
maples.

00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:08.280 align:middle line:84%
Animal dust, mineral, mental,
all hoarded not in the jar

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:12.690 align:middle line:84%
of sexy Pandora, not in the
ark where the dust of the holy

00:01:12.690 --> 00:01:18.270 align:middle line:84%
aspiring to congeal as glorious
mud-thing still writhes--

00:01:18.270 --> 00:01:23.310 align:middle line:84%
Just this leathery, crackled,
obsolete box, heart-sized

00:01:23.310 --> 00:01:27.960 align:middle line:84%
or brain, rusted lock shattered,
hinge howling with glee

00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:29.700 align:middle line:90%
to be lifted again.

00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:35.540 align:middle line:84%
Face powder, gun powder,
dust, darling dust.

00:01:35.540 --> 00:01:41.000 align:middle line:90%
