Killjoy

I am a missing man a captain without a voyage

I oppose wonder so old a hush and offer to fell all the winter’s timber

declaring my need for ice and wind and pain

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Tuesday 6 October 1663.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

I am a man
a captain a voyage
