Omission

no news is plague news shutting up infected people and nobody imagining their pain

no news is like meeting an angel more than air more than some poor child and dying daily of sadness at my heart having nothing

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Thursday 14 September 1665.

Dave Bonta
