Polar opposites

Dave BontaContemplative

love is a strange sun a white bear lost at sea

I am never troubled by angry words and I like being in the dark

excess of light makes eyes believe vicious and impossible things

like little kings making a peace out of the dead

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Sunday 16 December 1666.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

love is a sun
a bear lost at sea
