A short fragment suspends guilt in irradiance while blame disappears into school books that the speaker's side already detests.
The image of being hung without guilt is both exposed and suspended. Blame has not been solved so much as lost inside school books, which makes official explanation feel unusable. The last lines make rejection prior to argument: those on the other side detest the books before they even begin.

In four lines, the poem suspends the speaker without guilt amid irradiance while possibilities of blame disappear into school books. Blame is not resolved but mislaid inside official explanation, and the closing detest to / begin with makes rejection prior to argument: those on the other side discard the books before they can speak.
