Emptying

Dave BontaContemplative

in some mathematical vision we proceed by striving to find a void

quick pleasures and sharp agonies turn into art after a time

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Monday 2 February 1662/63

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

in some vision
we proceed by to find a void
