Felled

Dave BontaContemplative

love is fallen upon me like cutting down a tree to make better light

with my whole body I appease my desire to be nobody

but I see how fanatic tenants would garden on so little ground being almost starved

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Thursday 14 July 1664.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

love is upon me
like down a tree
