## Attempt #3: Restrict to the book of Job
|
|
|
|
Written more like Seasons, breakdown of Job in the context of loss in a general way, perhaps as an expansion to Seasons? Turn it into book length.
|
|
|
|
(Can still be done from the point of view of the System (perhaps from the point of view of one of Oh, But To Whom Do I Speak These Words's stanza; No Unknowable Spaces Echo My Words *και κλαδοι*/*and instances*)
