Spell
O for the coat of a dog in a chill wind or a bear pleasant as a storm
the woods are canonical for trouble being full of such extraordinary rooms
curtains of light where I go to sleep enchantments whispering in the ear
flat on the ground as if dead fingers as high as they could reach
saying the words that make the words strange I believe that only will preserve us
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Monday 31 July 1665.
