I don't have many love poems,
for the reason you would guess.

00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:17.565 align:middle line:84%
[LAUGHS] But, well,
I hope to have more.

00:00:17.565 --> 00:00:20.415 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:20.415 --> 00:00:25.640 align:middle line:90%


00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:26.150 align:middle line:90%
Here's one.

00:00:26.150 --> 00:00:31.010 align:middle line:90%


00:00:31.010 --> 00:00:33.410 align:middle line:84%
This was one of those
exquisite romances

00:00:33.410 --> 00:00:37.250 align:middle line:84%
that is exquisite partly because
it's going to end immediately.

00:00:37.250 --> 00:00:44.150 align:middle line:90%


00:00:44.150 --> 00:00:48.600 align:middle line:84%
It's called
"Aubade--" dawn song--

00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:49.685 align:middle line:90%
sort of like alarm clock.

00:00:49.685 --> 00:00:56.240 align:middle line:90%


00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:01.670 align:middle line:84%
Today above the gull's call,
I heard you waking me again

00:01:01.670 --> 00:01:08.480 align:middle line:84%
to see that bird flying so
strangely over the city,

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.360 align:middle line:90%
not wanting to stop--

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:16.500 align:middle line:84%
wanting the blue
waste of the sea.

00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:24.940 align:middle line:84%
Now it skirts the suburb, the
noon light violent against it.

00:01:24.940 --> 00:01:34.770 align:middle line:84%
I feel its hunger as your hand
inside me, a cry so common--

00:01:34.770 --> 00:01:37.740 align:middle line:90%
unmusical.

00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:41.070 align:middle line:90%
Ours were not different.

00:01:41.070 --> 00:01:46.320 align:middle line:84%
They rose from the
unexhausted need of the body,

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:49.770 align:middle line:90%
presuming a wish to return--

00:01:49.770 --> 00:01:55.980 align:middle line:84%
the ashen dawn, our clothes
not sorted for departure.

00:01:55.980 --> 00:01:56.480 align:middle line:90%
