At a loss
to whom might it call her hair of red silk
no Christ is ever as light as a private joy
that comes to be more than pleasure
the country where now is
not staying there but breaking up
we put on other clothes full of morning
who would not who could not take that loss
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Wednesday 22 July 1663.
