Axe handles
books give thorough direction for the binding of books
O make my whole study the same binding my hand to my hand
as ear to auditor or hope to that old ache
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Wednesday 18 January 1665. (The post title is a reference to Confucius, via Gary Snyder: “When cutting an axe handle, the model is always right at hand.”)
