00:00:01.562 --> 00:00:02.145 align:middle line:90%
"The Burning."

00:00:02.145 --> 00:00:10.900 align:middle line:90%


00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:15.100 align:middle line:84%
"It would happen, I would name
these moments as they came.

00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:17.830 align:middle line:84%
And there were some
lies which clawed up

00:00:17.830 --> 00:00:21.790 align:middle line:84%
as the dead, a few
weeks after the fire.

00:00:21.790 --> 00:00:27.040 align:middle line:84%
Lies which broke the hair of
their fingers as they climbed,

00:00:27.040 --> 00:00:31.390 align:middle line:84%
yet saw the dead,
and so knew them.

00:00:31.390 --> 00:00:35.290 align:middle line:84%
I talked further in the
dark than anyone then.

00:00:35.290 --> 00:00:37.900 align:middle line:84%
The moments were
dark and returned

00:00:37.900 --> 00:00:42.940 align:middle line:84%
against the dark skylight where
there was a hole, the mind,

00:00:42.940 --> 00:00:47.770 align:middle line:84%
dead in its little
image, little pit.

00:00:47.770 --> 00:00:51.220 align:middle line:84%
I followed them home and
the moments caught fire.

00:00:51.220 --> 00:00:56.410 align:middle line:84%
And I caught fire and clawed
out a small space for breathing

00:00:56.410 --> 00:01:01.990 align:middle line:84%
under the moment of the small
floor, which was on fire.

00:01:01.990 --> 00:01:04.569 align:middle line:84%
The burning lied
to me as it made

00:01:04.569 --> 00:01:08.590 align:middle line:84%
me feel safe and made
me feel as if I, too,

00:01:08.590 --> 00:01:13.330 align:middle line:84%
had loved, although alone
with the love given.

00:01:13.330 --> 00:01:18.910 align:middle line:84%
Was it a kind fire, was it
nothing then as over the roads

00:01:18.910 --> 00:01:21.250 align:middle line:90%
in the mind broken?

00:01:21.250 --> 00:01:24.190 align:middle line:90%
I did not want it given to you.

00:01:24.190 --> 00:01:27.130 align:middle line:84%
I did not want to
lie about the pain

00:01:27.130 --> 00:01:34.420 align:middle line:84%
my hand felt as I saw the dead
given over to me in frankness.

00:01:34.420 --> 00:01:38.410 align:middle line:84%
I saw a white starkness
after their death.

00:01:38.410 --> 00:01:41.080 align:middle line:90%
In the death was a person.

00:01:41.080 --> 00:01:43.190 align:middle line:90%
She was there so dead.

00:01:43.190 --> 00:01:48.370 align:middle line:84%
I saw a white starkness
leave her mind and bones.

00:01:48.370 --> 00:01:51.580 align:middle line:84%
I saw the white
moment of white words

00:01:51.580 --> 00:01:54.110 align:middle line:90%
break so silently into nothing.

00:01:54.110 --> 00:01:56.260 align:middle line:90%
I felt weak.

00:01:56.260 --> 00:01:58.390 align:middle line:90%
A cry came close.

00:01:58.390 --> 00:02:01.990 align:middle line:84%
A cry came close
and I felt weak.

00:02:01.990 --> 00:02:04.070 align:middle line:90%
I saw the dead.

00:02:04.070 --> 00:02:07.700 align:middle line:84%
I saw the fire which
makes the dead.

00:02:07.700 --> 00:02:10.600 align:middle line:90%
I saw the moment go nowhere.

00:02:10.600 --> 00:02:14.080 align:middle line:84%
In the dark, I could see
the broken image of love

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.360 align:middle line:90%
for the first time.

00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:20.850 align:middle line:90%
I saw the white tire go out."
