Husbandry

Water comes to my garden in the finest coat laced with rich lace.

And on the night of the fire, all the doors in the street dancing with light…

The world is an old wife not seen since the wedding. We turn a country into a cot and not a bed.

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Wednesday 21 May 1662.
