Hibernal
what fear at every cough in the coffee house
the poorest body must be a winter
made of a hundred fish with snow at the bottom
the dead come to life flesh hollow as wax
they inhabit the violence of the winds
and no dog but a wolf could help us take joy
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Friday 11 December 1663.
