Gifted

people speak of my gift for sitting with the dead

I know the disease of the stone the hot pie made of a swan

how a rose cried at the sight of my hands

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Friday 1 January 1663/64.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

people of my gift
for with the dead
