Orpheus in the Download Underworld

„... There is majesty in certainty if you can stomach it

but I prefer the random melt of stars,

waiting in the darkness for trees to bud...

... listening for the metallic scrape of growth

as foxes slice the winter with their tongues

and owls stamp prints of mice on frosty turf...“

– Adam Horovitz
