Walk

I walk through the city ill-painted though pretty as lace

I walk as I wish for the best part of my life

I walk through new buildings in the fields that used to have only time

I walk an angry road to look after my dead

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Sunday 2 October 1664.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

I walk the city
ill-painted though as lace
