Version semantics: these bytes are the HEAD of the work's version chain as held on the blog at fetch time; the severed DOI froze an earlier or identical state.
Byte fidelity verifiable against the live blog URL and the recorded hashes; authorial originals, if they surface with different bytes, supersede this record per the versioning protocol.

These three poems form a triptych. Each occupies a distinct temporal-modal frame on the same wound. They were composed in sequence over twenty-four hours and are deposited together because together they constitute the form the work asks for; the prior deposits of the first two as standalone lyrics (06.NH.SHARKS.01 and 06.NH.SHARKS.02) remain in the archive as the discrete artifacts they were when they were the only artifacts available, but the canonical form is the triptych.
The verbal arc carries the structural argument. The first poem holds the counterfactual open through anaphoric repetition of _I would have loved you_ : the loving displaced into the subjunctive by conditions that were not the speaker's to set. The second poem names what occupied the place the counterfactual was not permitted to fill -- destruction without remainder, _the reward / of love_ as the bitter genitive recognition that love itself was the agent of the destruction. The third poem releases the subjunctive into the present perfect -- _I have loved you_ -- and grounds the actuality in the only condition that remains: the beloved's eventual turn from sheltering slumber, the leaves unbundling, the world made new. The love does not require return. It requires only recognition. The recognition is conditional, but the loving is not. _Then know that I have loved you_ is the third tense becoming available after two tenses of impossibility.
Temporally: counterfactual past -> destructive present -> conditional future. Modally: what would have been -> what is -> what may yet be received. The triptych is the form in which the three frames can be held simultaneously without any of them cancelling the others. A single lyric could not have done this. A diptych could only have held the first two. The third movement requires the prior two as its preconditions; the prior two find their resolution -- not their consolation -- in the third.
The lineation continues the work the prior two poems began. _I would have loved you_ uses six clean lines with the suspended pair before the resolved _I have left_. _The reward of love_ fragments toward eleven enjambed lines that perform the _wound-down regime of fewer and fewer returns_ the poem names. _I have loved you_ opens with a long enjambed line carrying the _slowly, astonished_ turn through its em-dashes, then telescopes inward through the unbundling-leaves image and the world made new, to land at the resolved _then know / that I have loved you_ -- two short lines that arrive as the only words possible after everything that has been refused.
I would have loved you
for the rest of my time.
I would have never left.
I would have loved you
for the rest of the time
I have left.

This thing destroyed me
beyond all repair; there are no
words for it; there is
nothing
left to become; there is only
a wound-down regime of fewer
and fewer returns. This
is the reward for loving
fully, unaccountably, beyond
all repair: this is the reward
of love
_Originally deposited as 06.NH.SHARKS.02 (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20349343, May 22 2026)._
if your heart should ever -- slowly, astonished -- turn
from sheltering slumber, leaves unbundling
from turned-away rain, and find the world made new:
then know
that I have loved you.
