Heatstroke

Dave BontaContemplative

in hot weather lying with only a sheet upon me like a ghost

there is a strangeness between hand and head and I miss the body’s city

when I at last die will I be friends with it

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Saturday 13 July 1667.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

in hot lying

with only a upon me
