A handwritten fragment on Music Distributing Company stationery reads, "I hoped God had / not already called / the Abyss," followed by drawing material.

The page turns business letterhead into a field for a stark spiritual fear. The abyss appears as something already summoned, while the drawings and stray marks keep the fragment provisional and unsettled.
