"Into the trill and stutter
of mockingbirds awake

00:00:11.190 --> 00:00:16.320 align:middle line:84%
at this wrong hour, all night,
throats open, eyes wide,

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:19.180 align:middle line:90%
I rouse to see a woman's face

00:00:19.180 --> 00:00:23.070 align:middle line:84%
I will never wear,
moon pale, rising

00:00:23.070 --> 00:00:27.630 align:middle line:84%
against the viscid surface
of a night, otherwise dark,

00:00:27.630 --> 00:00:30.810 align:middle line:90%
fretted by song.

00:00:30.810 --> 00:00:37.920 align:middle line:84%
I think of beginnings, new
heat, one finger on a wrist,

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:43.170 align:middle line:84%
the stark, wet
instant of conception.

00:00:43.170 --> 00:00:49.680 align:middle line:84%
It is like thinking of you dead,
your face stony, prophetic,

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:54.870 align:middle line:84%
given over to long dreams,
and some light, resinous,

00:00:54.870 --> 00:01:00.840 align:middle line:84%
fixing the shadows along your
mouth in amber, or of myself

00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:05.459 align:middle line:84%
dead, long weeds wound
around throat and fingers,

00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:11.340 align:middle line:84%
with pearls for eyes, and
beyond the gray wakeful birds

00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:13.620 align:middle line:90%
thrilling crazily.

00:01:13.620 --> 00:01:19.010 align:middle line:84%
Epithalamia, at 2
o'clock and 3 o'clock."
