Stiff

I pay as much as any for her deep eye

but not to be known no I am buried in it

then who will see me asleep with mouth open

am I the whore here my desire full of convenience

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Sunday 19 March 1665.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

I pay as as any
for her eye
