Preservationist

Dave BontaContemplative

my mind gone to paper carrying books from beginning to end in the ruin of my self

when I come to touch the world put into writing and to be there all is quiet

other stories give out or run to extremes

hope will be our last struggle

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Friday 18 December 1668.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

my mind gone to
from to end
