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.
