It's a pleasure to be here and. Almost will arrive shortly. I think. You. Take one word. As poetry. Ways I don't know what the word write because. It is an odd sense of right I mean you. Are the third in my way whether they be images from my readings. For minutes from things people. Or things in nature. I'm very grateful to see my family and while. I'm on the radio or put on me. Are pouring out three days and I've never really performed on late so it's like. Running myself. Oh I've been on the way I am enjoying the tour.
And I also want to. Thank my friend. I want to add on the money I have for. Being with the one you love your own really. OK. If you take it. And. There won't be. There will be my reading. I might go along for a variety of reasons. One. Awkward was the slowness of Oh and I was little I like on the final thank you very. The other is. Sensing around the room to see what's the next. Oh that was really. An early. More importantly I missed you all I think is. Really crucial to me. You're wondering what Miley's experience.
I wrote about in the mines. And. I was very quick to file a nature that was around me. And I remember I'm three years old and this experience. Where I really thought everything was. Really and I was going. I really wasn't thinking that I was reciting a poem or doing something particularly more than a face and very kind and there is the sayings and translators but certainly my mother so I take it.
Oh and for three years. And. Now we're married. Oh my this is a tribute to her work. And me greatly. Because. Remember it. Every woman. And every home. Single homeless single as. I do mostly white and. And so I. Really hope to be. In my life. And. I also really read it all. You. For the truth. Come on my
one of them being me. We're millions of you out. And so I want to go home. I have given this and her prayers. Are with their sorrows. But as you go or saluting I'm saying. Through the darkest night. While free as there are a lot of things there are secret fires and warning and there. Are the rest. And when your inspiration for this poem told me.
And when you realize. How many friends. You. Like. And then you said. You were people. And really one thing. Due to fall from. The sky from my server and this is from where I'm the realist. This is fine
if you want me. To speak to what makes me angry. Oh oh. I'm going into. This room. For my. Linger. And this is really cool. If you wish. Me. To not. Speak to what makes me angry. Oh great. One of the great things.
I was. Forests. In my own rooms while. They do this. And the slowness to where. It was there and where existed. Straight words. Was part of the reason why. I'm so important for you.
Success isn't the show you know. This is a on coming out for my parents for the way. You want. It's. You. I was expecting. Getting Up. This morning we come again and we're. Still able. To brush up my own. Or it was. Each other right. This is plagiarism.
It's Miss Michel. It's it's for. You let her sleep. One more book and read. And see. The sense there is more. Secure. And the sites.
Are worthwhile. Eventually we were. One more than another sentence and I knew I was. In. My. VOICE. You know the. Phrase. I write. Is for me.
And one of my. One of the no means. Always was. It's very simple for me. Oh no what's not fair and free. This is. Why we Rachel and my brother and I. Free. Really.
It was very we really wanted to get there. And I started feeling my. Place where it was getting really tired. Reach for another. And. So we. Might. AS. Well.
And I think a lot of my arms. Are minor for myself. Surely the problem. With. This is reading at home rather. Over the words I wrote articles this Friday and my below with my me do like fish on water or we keep below the surface I keep on pulling on your own while I was oh I know I'll never leave the car killing him. I remember going I'll never leave the sun always sailing on the sea.
And then it's me. For the source. And we were. Your words from which word for. Word. For your. Enemy. Your words. And theirs to keep me. There is a place where language. Sees this. Why is that. I believe this is. In vogue in
our 0 0 0. People were driving our point. The thing is this if you can sort of that our mind with the thought Kyra. And. I want to respect I mean how many differences between us I wonder. It's like oh if it's the real Alpha what I mean by possibility. I was silent while silence and where. I'm space for me is you. Oh well. I didn't vote for it. My my pounds. My dreams. And this is a 1 0 0 0 0 0 3. I will read you privately. AS. You. Are.
I thought in your words it was art. How to grow my own minds. Hey. I want you to visit my Our me. And the end type places the continents of my future I will have to remind through my waiting how I want to know when in hell I was still. On a swing. Nothing with me I. Could not see the devil he was a finger print out photo as he moved on with his needle in an iron mine. And Heller with our being. It was more dense than. The sea with nowhere. If it was there it
was voiceless. Army and we're aware of each. I'm not sure about this quotation. The Muses were not used. They were my use. Listen you're the woman. And how I look. But I've heard the ridiculous object ridiculous places where there is no space for the sky. How can I find my way out I don't know where I was after the night I have been there. How are the boring places. And so I got. The wiring for you to join. Sorry you finally because I always do. And 20 home with me and to. See my I'd like to visit.
And. That's. Part of the way it goes. Hates. It. I'm very first. Experience. Great sorrow and also experience are myself and I'm working on exposing more and. Other. Three. People. We do. Much much more something really good.
I think people are more. Like. And. Then you were. On the side. Very. Very. The clearest experience that a number of very explicit.
There was one person I was in a very. Sexual for. The. First year. And. She was basically everybody. And all people were good. Well actually. When. It was not me. And her are aware it's a very real one. And so. To grow out. Of. It's going to miss experience.
Whatever powers you know yourself to run something like that again. How to Run. So what I will say. She pointed at my wheelchair in the water. So before I. Tucked under that people I like it better because of course if I meet someone tonight incentives suddenly it was. And we slipped into the braided periods of the rain. Our air of orange light our Myron dark like skittish mirrors the Turner boys Warren bright light and I would urge my arms became that once. Its wears on its seeing over the world her. And one year I'll be waiting a while for the
first time I had a mile a mile of it everywhere myself opening and are the most silent. Then like as mild as how I doubt you are and need from China. For the. For the time when the building. RBA floated through the night. Yeah. Well I wrote a. And. It was really growing where.
I would have my own. Life. So is it more I heard that. You. And. I know. Somebody well. Her. And. Her son. And. See. The. Same. I'm really well or just. Kids. And so I stuck. With my own. Are there ways. That
something like. This you mean this is. This your verdict for. Her. I still like her. Are you thirsty. If you had a choice would you take a ship out or really be. Do you feel like the wire like this story like this feeling like poisonous plants like this you are like right. I don't want to speak to the you're nowhere. I mean
I want to give you the colors of the rainbow. And in honor of those. I want with whatever you. I want. You're. So early and again. And your own are which are in the Holy Spirit. You. Know in the first only human life. And for all your
own for that matter is in you. To move toward the rain and deliberately is a regular thing. And get suspect for a few moments as the swallows. Your air wings. You know you have been waiting for and it's. Frivolous. So I was coming here you know. So. I'll work. With It. Oh that's right.
When. I spend. Time. On. This is. Like a river with.
The sea. Now I really. Like. Different parts of myself. And. I know. It's comforting. Oh no I was right. And. I think you're. Going away with it.
For now I'm. Out of this. And. I'll leave the Silence for you or yours. I certainly know I answered very well right now more quickly. To. The most. I think. When. The
court the Outland lying in bed with money I think you know they should tell it to a psycho and a tyrant is like comparing crude a few filaments of bread. Anyway you could still speaks like that said roll my eyes because my fingers are alive. My I'm. Strong as we drink from the world of any relatives I meet or any of my work I put my hand in my pocket here it is. You know we are here with a growing among us now. Now only out Mexico. Dear September I because my sex place of birth my
mother's place of art this morning. He thinks this is the race very inspiration. For her. So.
Where is. This. Fire.
