00:00:01.410 --> 00:00:09.210 align:middle line:84%
The down I pluck from the
neck of the curlew, eddies,

00:00:09.210 --> 00:00:16.300 align:middle line:84%
and whirls at my knees in
the twilight wind from sea,

00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:21.390 align:middle line:84%
kneeling in sand
warm in the hand.

00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:29.790 align:middle line:90%


00:00:29.790 --> 00:00:31.500 align:middle line:90%
Do you want to do it right?

00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:35.190 align:middle line:90%
I'll tell you, he tells me.

00:00:35.190 --> 00:00:38.100 align:middle line:84%
At the edge of the
water on the stones,

00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:42.960 align:middle line:84%
a transverse cut just below
the sternum, the forefinger

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.020 align:middle line:84%
and middle finger,
I took off my ring,

00:00:46.020 --> 00:00:49.470 align:middle line:84%
forced in end up
feeling and following

00:00:49.470 --> 00:00:51.270 align:middle line:90%
the curve of the ribs.

00:00:51.270 --> 00:00:56.310 align:middle line:84%
Then fingers arched and
drawn slowly down and back

00:00:56.310 --> 00:01:00.900 align:middle line:84%
forcing all the insides
up and out toward the palm

00:01:00.900 --> 00:01:02.820 align:middle line:90%
and heel of the hand.

00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:09.630 align:middle line:84%
Firm organs well placed and
very warm, save the liver.

00:01:09.630 --> 00:01:13.080 align:middle line:84%
Finally, scouring
back toward the vent

00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:18.090 align:middle line:84%
the last of the large intestine,
the insides string out,

00:01:18.090 --> 00:01:21.930 align:middle line:84%
begin to wave in the
lapping waters of the bay.

00:01:21.930 --> 00:01:30.890 align:middle line:84%
The bird has no wings, feet
or head, he is empty inside.

00:01:30.890 --> 00:01:35.090 align:middle line:84%
The rich body muscle that he
moves by, the wing beating

00:01:35.090 --> 00:01:39.290 align:middle line:84%
muscle fastened to the
blade-like high breast bone

00:01:39.290 --> 00:01:41.560 align:middle line:90%
will be our meat.

00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:42.087 align:middle line:90%
