Forest moth

Dave BontaContemplative

a moth in the woods is her own light

serving not the expected dark joy

but haste and a heart studious to be a room

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Saturday 19 September 1663.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

a moth in the woods is her own
serving not the dark joy
