Poor sleeper

sleep comes to me but not on purpose

it and the swan do not understand being civil

I drew the last rose for the hole in my heart

and went home to my bed in a broken country

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Saturday 26 September 1668

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

sleep to me
but not on
