Sad times
I wake by 4:00 o’clock to any day but my own
here a forest here a clearing here a dead body and his imp of a fly
it is midsummer in the country of grief nothing is done but trade
dinner for dinner a fancy tune for a glass
and sorry for however present a loss
I hear that Parliament is against the scandal of nature
which if too much provoked shall go to bed
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Wednesday 27 May 1663.
