Timber

Dave BontaContemplative

the great indifference of the wood to the business of years

when they come to build it is but another temple to home and bed

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Wednesday 3 December 1662, in response to “Sermon of the trees.”

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

the great of the wood
to the of years
