Right here, If you know this
place is home about a beloved

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:43.700 align:middle line:84%
whose skin you
cannot live without,

00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:47.840 align:middle line:84%
whose fingers know why the
jasmine bushes will not flourish

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.395 align:middle line:84%
in your back yard
in El Sobrante,

00:00:50.395 --> 00:00:54.620 align:middle line:84%
why your batter sours too late,
why no amount of sugar will make

00:00:54.620 --> 00:00:59.160 align:middle line:84%
your tea sweet, why your front
yard is scattered with pinions,

00:00:59.160 --> 00:01:02.790 align:middle line:84%
why all mail arrives like a
bird strike to the fuselage,

00:01:02.790 --> 00:01:06.440 align:middle line:84%
the dot rolls dawdling and then
shredding the turbines whose

00:01:06.440 --> 00:01:14.990 align:middle line:84%
letters you fold and
unfold, fold and unfold,

00:01:14.990 --> 00:01:20.310 align:middle line:84%
fold and unfold until the
creases give way and you put

00:01:20.310 --> 00:01:24.570 align:middle line:84%
the pieces back together on
the dining table to make a map

00:01:24.570 --> 00:01:28.450 align:middle line:84%
for a country made
of vein and sinew,

00:01:28.450 --> 00:01:33.070 align:middle line:84%
with hands pulled clean of
wedding bands and raw rice.

00:01:33.070 --> 00:01:35.960 align:middle line:90%
A map for a country of two.

Explain here again why they
wish to leave behind the stone

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.410 align:middle line:84%
well where they
first kissed you,

00:01:55.410 --> 00:01:57.990 align:middle line:84%
where the large
terrapin laps the shadow

00:01:57.990 --> 00:02:01.200 align:middle line:84%
and circles around the
mossy rock overhanging

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.960 align:middle line:84%
the clutch of her
eggs to circumnavigate

00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:06.750 align:middle line:84%
a history of water
trapped in land,

00:02:06.750 --> 00:02:10.860 align:middle line:84%
where ankles graze against
cotton skirts stamped again

00:02:10.860 --> 00:02:14.040 align:middle line:84%
and again and again
with laughing doves

00:02:14.040 --> 00:02:17.640 align:middle line:84%
carved into wooden blocks,
where an open suitcase is

00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:20.910 align:middle line:84%
an undug grave, where
a field of sugarcane

00:02:20.910 --> 00:02:25.810 align:middle line:84%
is a bruise spreading purple
through land owned by the IMF,

00:02:25.810 --> 00:02:30.720 align:middle line:84%
a land free of flags, yet
flagging, flagging, flagging,

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:32.270 align:middle line:90%
flagging.
