Timekeeper
Time gone, I fell upon boring holes in the clock and calling it chance, keeping a month or two with me like water in a boat, black with every particular of home. I observed the fanatics who cry up death say they will not pay for time, like a road when we have no money for ordinary dirt. Building my house a story higher, saving light, I long to see time heal.
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Monday 30 June 1662.
