We must start with the
first poem in the book.

00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:10.890 align:middle line:84%
This is "Aposiopesis"
or The Field

00:00:10.890 --> 00:00:13.140 align:middle line:90%
Between the Living and The Dead.

00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:16.920 align:middle line:90%


00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:24.200 align:middle line:84%
And forgive me for I cannot
tell you how to begin,

00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:32.850 align:middle line:84%
but here is the body,
like the urge to pray.

00:00:32.850 --> 00:00:36.450 align:middle line:84%
Your mouth already
gone, and we never

00:00:36.450 --> 00:00:42.930 align:middle line:90%
said you, a boy, woman, man.

00:00:42.930 --> 00:00:47.160 align:middle line:84%
Only the animal
made with two hands

00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:54.630 align:middle line:84%
and lost in the field waiting
for human life to reenter

00:00:54.630 --> 00:01:03.030 align:middle line:84%
as if through a door, broken,
and yet the dead who love you,

00:01:03.030 --> 00:01:08.970 align:middle line:84%
who are still remembering the
touch of blood-warmed skin

00:01:08.970 --> 00:01:13.510 align:middle line:84%
abandon you like
every yesterday.

00:01:13.510 --> 00:01:19.180 align:middle line:84%
Like this single paradise
of every body's silence,

00:01:19.180 --> 00:01:26.500 align:middle line:84%
rusting daylight into the only
dusk we have been made to see.

00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:27.000 align:middle line:90%
