What a king is

Dave BontaContemplative

Among other things very fine, which thing is a king? The king is a king: a word and net. The king is a cover for the king, girt with words.

The king is a lord changed for an old hat. The king is a plain moth, a chance tenant. The king is a familiar street at night.

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Saturday 20 April 1661.
