Marking time

a song is fatal the note is as gone as ash after I play it

who having great need to meet myself at the harp

take for granted that time is knocking nails

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Monday 30 January 1659/60. (See the original erasure.)

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

a song is
the note is as gone as ash I play it
