I'll read two more
poems from that book.

00:00:03.370 --> 00:00:07.900 align:middle line:84%
One of them I was asked
to read is this one.

00:00:07.900 --> 00:00:10.468 align:middle line:84%
It's called For The
Anniversary Of My Death.

00:00:10.468 --> 00:00:14.770 align:middle line:90%


00:00:14.770 --> 00:00:17.470 align:middle line:84%
Every year without knowing
it, I have passed the day

00:00:17.470 --> 00:00:20.710 align:middle line:84%
when the last fires
will wave to me

00:00:20.710 --> 00:00:25.120 align:middle line:84%
and the silence will set
out, tireless traveler

00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:26.975 align:middle line:90%
like the beam of a light star.

00:00:26.975 --> 00:00:29.810 align:middle line:90%


00:00:29.810 --> 00:00:32.509 align:middle line:84%
Then I will no longer
find myself in life

00:00:32.509 --> 00:00:36.500 align:middle line:84%
as in a strange garment
surprised at the Earth,

00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:41.360 align:middle line:84%
and the love of one woman,
and the shamelessness of men

00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:44.900 align:middle line:84%
as today writing after
three days of rain

00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:48.680 align:middle line:84%
hearing the Wren sing
and the falling cease,

00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:51.670 align:middle line:90%
and bowing not knowing to what.

00:00:51.670 --> 00:01:00.000 align:middle line:90%
