A poem that invokes expansive loneliness, where the poet's emotional response is to endure. A crushed line of astral forms and anatomy in perpetual remove; it is a poem that nurtures vulnerability: some soft-footed embryo sounds against language’s viscera. \u003ci\u003eNight \u0026amp; Ox\u003c\/i\u003e possesses a feral minimalism for those too tired and too frantic with joy to cope with narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘A fierce, ladderlike cri de cœur – at times a cri de cur – \u003ci\u003eNight \u0026amp; Ox\u003c\/i\u003e pulses with sawblade nocturnes that gnaw through the very rungs on which they’re wrung.
