Hanging jack

My lute an office where I expect to walk.

I found a stone in mourning for the temple.

Bread and butter were discoursing of the great eater.

I remember a hanging jack to roast birds—that heat.

I played a while on my lute and could not kill anything.

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Saturday 4 February 1659/60.
