Enabled Night by John R. Turner.

The opening line is my riff on box coral prelude come sweet death, one of his most profound.

The fox fur wings, I feel, come from Wells' in the Avu Observatory, a surrealistic short story where an astronomer in the islands of

Indonesia is attacked by a large flying bat creature. The last stanza is Dante by way of

Elliot's wasteland. Pound said to make it new. So I did. J.R.T.

"'Come and sable to night, and spread your fox fur wings about me. Only in darkness when I

blink my eyes and see nothing, only then do all those gone visit me.

I never wished to unknow so many.
