Landsman
I bade adieu to a rose, gave paper to a paper, drank farewell and drank to one that would have a place at sea—a seal who had a great desire to go to sea— and I went home and sat there talking old, playing old till it was time to go lay in a fine urn.
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Saturday 17 March 1659/60.
