Two Poems Across the Arc: UNTUNED / NOISE OF MYSELF / A BORROWED HEART is a poetry deposit by Lee Sharks, dated 17 May 2026.
The work opens in a letter register that immediately damages itself — an apology for not replying that turns on a slur the text partially redacts as it writes it, locating the speaker's self-description in a vocabulary the poem will not fully print. That refusal is the deposit's first formal act, and it sets the terms for what follows.
The record was re-seated in verse mode during the recovery campaign, preserving 102 indented lines that a prose reflow would have destroyed. That handling matters for this deposit specifically: the arc the title names is carried by lineation and spacing rather than by statement, and the archive's standing rule that verse and indented blocks are never reflowed was written partly out of cases like this one.
