Feast

Red in the morning, a great orange disorder on which to dine. Bottles of wine alter us. We walk up and down and weep, sore from sitting, and kneel—not to the king but to eat a piece of bread out of a poor boy’s pocket.

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Wednesday 23 May 1660.

Learn by heart: tap a gap

Red in the ,
a great orange on which to dine.
