Salted

her letter finds me like a ship laden with salt

so angry a note to deliver to the dead

a salt with no light a ship deserted by her fleet

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Wednesday 16 January 1667.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

her finds me
like a ship with salt
