Brun At Loose Ends (S) OS

"At Loose Ends:
starts quoting itself as another world
for You and Us and Me and Sticks and Mallets and Tunes
and for Heads and for Feet
which are
and will for some time continue to be
too big for comfort;

ends proposing itself as another piece
composed for all mentioned above
and a pianist
so that strings be attached to the loose ends
just at where they are.
