This alternate Loss of The Sun page compresses the same scene into a more stripped and unstable meditation on perception, terror, and what outlasts the self.
The restored bottom continuation makes the page end less abstractly: the speaker imagines being brought to stand it all alone, after the questions about God, the sun, and making death longer.

A second 'Loss of The Sun,' more stripped and broken into short lines. The killing is the same -- 'When he pulled his rifle / It was her he saw' -- and again the victim becomes image: 'so/she had happened to be / a moon on film.' Terror is savored ('Exqusit the terror on the tongue / The quick comfort of violance done'), and the abstractions multiply: 'The rejection of sorrow never known,' 'Once to begin with straw and gold / Can be two strong trees.' The metaphysical questions sharpen toward the end -- 'Is it just God against the Sun / Or is it for to make death longer' -- before the restored handwritten continuation lands on dread of solitude: 'IT WAS thought we would never be brought, / To STAND it / All Alone.' This reading remains provisional because the page is mixed-quality with needs_manual_review set, and a circled 'Held' annotation stays unplaced. Source spellings 'Exqusit' and 'violance' are kept as written.
