Open handed
in my hands the world of a beggar who is all alone and no less than one thousand people in the street
I fear every day more and more the state answering the question who is it that the weight of the war depends on
a man betrayed to the sea for security’s sake let me be godfather to a swan and steal a kiss of the night
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Friday 6 July 1666.
