Abstract

A n d r e w J o r o n Nightsun, Sign Red, unread, as Eurydice's indices— W hy Orpheus? W hy en cip her fire? Let th e v io lin 's violence tell the tu rn o f the tu n e — All's in volu ted vo lum e , lig h t as heavy as heaven. A fo o t after a bent verse, averse, b u t fo r Before. A m in d m et o u t o f tim e , the shared shard. Necessary errancy. Push o f a p pa rition , ash o f pure relatio n— The con tent n o t con tent to spare th e spirit. W hat? W h ite r water, a rrivin g raving? Strike in s tru m en t, the the is to o d e finite , to o deaf to in finity. To send is to end.
