Origins of horror
a new home below the present one
wants the world that they love least
like nature gone to iron and money
in the damp cellar long things grew
little fingers that must be rubbed with blood
and would not eat and cried to be a doll
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Sunday 21 October 1666.
