Fake healer

time papers over our grief our ways of getting by

who is seized and for a quarrel cut all over the back

the servants they dally with doing what hands will do

we must fall and everything else go to sand

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Thursday 23 November 1665.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

time over our grief
our ways of by
