[00:14.070]You never liked to get
[00:21.060]The letters that I sent.
[00:27.740]But now you’ve got the gist
[00:33.260]Of what my letters meant.
[00:41.030]You’re reading them again,
[00:47.500]The ones you didn’t burn.
[00:54.170]You press them to your lips,
[00:59.940]My pages of concern.
[01:08.300]I said there’d been a flood.
[01:15.030]I said there’s nothing left.
[01:21.830]I hoped that you would come.
[01:28.470]I gave you my address.
[01:34.670]Your story was so long,
[01:40.930]The plot was so intense,
[01:48.260]It took you years to cross
[01:53.520]The lines of self-defense.
[02:01.830]The wounded forms appear:
[02:07.620]The loss, the full extent;
[02:15.520]And simple kindness here,
[02:20.480]The solitude of strength.
[02:30.940]repeat
[03:00.300]You walk into my room.
[03:05.160]You stand there at my desk,
[03:11.230]Begin your letter to
[03:16.580]The one who’s coming next
