00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.970 align:middle line:90%
The Sound of the Light.

00:00:02.970 --> 00:00:06.490 align:middle line:90%


00:00:06.490 --> 00:00:09.990 align:middle line:84%
I hear a sheep running on
the path of broken limestone

00:00:09.990 --> 00:00:13.510 align:middle line:84%
through brown curled leaves
fallen early from walnut limbs

00:00:13.510 --> 00:00:14.860 align:middle line:90%
at the end of a summer.

00:00:14.860 --> 00:00:17.200 align:middle line:84%
How light the bony
flutter of their passage.

00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:20.050 align:middle line:84%
I can hear their coughing,
their calling and wheezing.

00:00:20.050 --> 00:00:23.170 align:middle line:84%
Even the warm greased wool
rubbing on the worn walls,

00:00:23.170 --> 00:00:27.100 align:middle line:84%
I hear them, passing
in the hollow lane.

00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:30.520 align:middle line:90%
And there is still time.

00:00:30.520 --> 00:00:33.700 align:middle line:84%
The shuffling of black shoes
of women climbing stone ledges

00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:36.490 align:middle line:84%
to church keeps flowing
up that dazzling hill

00:00:36.490 --> 00:00:38.950 align:middle line:84%
around the grassy
rustle of voices

00:00:38.950 --> 00:00:41.440 align:middle line:84%
on the far side of
a slatted shutter.

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:43.390 align:middle line:84%
And the small waves
go on whispering

00:00:43.390 --> 00:00:46.180 align:middle line:84%
on the shingle in the heat
of an hour without wind.

00:00:46.180 --> 00:00:47.260 align:middle line:90%
It is Sunday.

00:00:47.260 --> 00:00:49.540 align:middle line:84%
None of the sentences
begins or ends.

00:00:49.540 --> 00:00:52.300 align:middle line:90%
There is time.

00:00:52.300 --> 00:00:55.150 align:middle line:84%
Again the unbroken rumble of
trucks and the hiss of brakes

00:00:55.150 --> 00:00:57.190 align:middle line:90%
roll upward out of the avenue.

00:00:57.190 --> 00:01:00.010 align:middle line:84%
I forget what season they
are exploding through,

00:01:00.010 --> 00:01:02.785 align:middle line:84%
what year the drill on
the sidewalk is smashing.

00:01:02.785 --> 00:01:04.660 align:middle line:84%
It is the year in which
you are sitting there

00:01:04.660 --> 00:01:06.940 align:middle line:84%
as you are in the
morning speaking to me.

00:01:06.940 --> 00:01:08.830 align:middle line:84%
And I hear you through
the burning day.

00:01:08.830 --> 00:01:12.100 align:middle line:84%
And I touch you to be
sure and there is time.

00:01:12.100 --> 00:01:14.190 align:middle line:90%
There is still time.

00:01:14.190 --> 00:01:16.000 align:middle line:90%
