And then the last
poem in that book

00:00:03.210 --> 00:00:08.220 align:middle line:84%
is one that was written
in Oracle some years ago.

00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:10.620 align:middle line:90%
It's a poem called The Flight.

00:00:10.620 --> 00:00:12.940 align:middle line:84%
And it was for Bruce
and Fox McGrew.

00:00:12.940 --> 00:00:14.190 align:middle line:90%
It was written in their house.

00:00:14.190 --> 00:00:19.030 align:middle line:90%


00:00:19.030 --> 00:00:21.400 align:middle line:84%
The times in the day,
I thought of a fire

00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:24.310 align:middle line:84%
to watch, not that
my hands were cold,

00:00:24.310 --> 00:00:28.960 align:middle line:84%
but to have that doorway to see
through into the first thing.

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:33.100 align:middle line:84%
Even our names are made of
fire and we feed on night.

00:00:33.100 --> 00:00:35.050 align:middle line:90%
Walking, I thought of a fire.

00:00:35.050 --> 00:00:36.730 align:middle line:84%
Turning around, I
caught sight of it

00:00:36.730 --> 00:00:39.940 align:middle line:84%
in an opening in the wall
in another house and another

00:00:39.940 --> 00:00:41.590 align:middle line:90%
before and after.

00:00:41.590 --> 00:00:45.640 align:middle line:84%
In house after house
that was mine to see,

00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.290 align:middle line:84%
the same fire, the
perpetual bird.

00:00:49.290 --> 00:00:50.495 align:middle line:90%
