"Set Up Signposts."

00:00:03.870 --> 00:00:07.710 align:middle line:84%
From the start, we
look for signs, symbols

00:00:07.710 --> 00:00:09.780 align:middle line:90%
of the place we are headed.

00:00:09.780 --> 00:00:13.320 align:middle line:84%
Bent trees, we call
trail, guide ourselves

00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:16.530 align:middle line:84%
through their bow
legs, bent shafts.

00:00:16.530 --> 00:00:18.990 align:middle line:90%
Set signposts.

00:00:18.990 --> 00:00:23.490 align:middle line:84%
A potted geranium at forever
bedside to guide me to him.

00:00:23.490 --> 00:00:28.080 align:middle line:84%
Crushed leaves that smell of
tobacco-scented fingertips.

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:32.790 align:middle line:84%
His hands so often over my mouth
before the open summer window,

00:00:32.790 --> 00:00:35.610 align:middle line:84%
above the door of
an all-night diner.

00:00:35.610 --> 00:00:39.330 align:middle line:84%
We glance at the road we
have come to remind ourselves

00:00:39.330 --> 00:00:42.710 align:middle line:90%
of our position, direction.
