Dave BontaContemplative

show me the city before the city like another lie in the lay of the land

a foot is the greatest indignity done to a stone a kind of affront

as if appointed to meet on the holy road

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Thursday 22 November 1666.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

show me the city the city
like lie in the lay of the land
