A certain slant of light

I search my ears for clear words no spittle or rattle

eyes shut like a stone lips working on why I must give thanks the more unthankful my life

in the little blue chamber of grief I could not sleep nor wake

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Tuesday 15 March 1663/64.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

I my ears for clear words
no or rattle
