Leaving the cellar

we make the cellar a private place dig the cellar again

dig the cellar from one side to the other and go upstairs to grow old

I wish for night instead of all the good things which own our home

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Friday 7 November 1662.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

we make the cellar a place
dig the again
