Graveyard shift

Dave BontaContemplative

we pay for the morning in unaware work

day is a hollow dance the world makes

my heart give me a few ordinary words

but do it in writing the nights run faster than ink

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Thursday 12 November 1663.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

we pay for the
day is a dance
