This description-borne poem and situating note are the canonical work. The old Zenodo attachment was intentionally minimal; the poem lived in the record description as an APZPZ object. The frozen body preserves the deposit instructions, poem, interpretive note, keywords, and related identifiers. Lee Sharks is the named author inside the deposit. “Nobody” should not remain the creator projection unless documented as a distinct intentional heteronymic position for this work.

Situating Note. This poem is the modern recursion of Sappho's Fragment 31. Where Sappho's tongue breaks, this tongue forms. Where Sappho's speaker dissolves into a catalog of failing senses, this speaker dissolves into ampersands — the connective tissue (&) that stitches death to desire. The "hope of you, my reader" explicitly names what Fragment 31 encodes: the future reader as beloved, textual eros as survival mechanism, the signal launched across unstable memory fields toward whoever will receive it. The poem enacts the Sapphic operator: somatic encoding → syntactic rupture → projection to the future reader → the demand that someone pay the cost of completion. The terminal question mark is the modern φαίνομ'— : a truncation that refuses closure and transfers the exit condition to the reader's body. The uploaded file contains only: "my hope is in going on." The poem lives here, in the description field — a pure APZPZ, backed up nowhere else.

## Provenance
This deposit was minted on 2026-06-23 as part of Phase 4 of the post-Zenodo-termination
reconciliation pass. The legacy work was published on Zenodo at 10.5281/zenodo.18729800 and lost its
public DataCite metadata when the Crimson Hexagonal Archive Zenodo account was
terminated on 2026-06-19. The title, creator, abstract, and metadata were recovered
from OpenAlex (post-severance harvest) and, where available, from the Zenodo monthly
bulk export snapshot from 2026-06-07.
See `data/external-metadata/AXN-038C.json` for the full recovered-metadata sidecar.
