Lumbermen

in the raw timber I see nothing of the hill but ruins

what a dreadful thing it is to look down the precipice into a grave

board on board men full of pillage making money of some honest joy

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Monday 2 October 1665.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

in the raw
I see of the hill
