Dave BontaContemplative

my night’s work is a fur of instruments

listening breaking open the ear

with something I cannot presently say

concerning the simplicity of sea or a rose touching skin

I take light in a jar my head full of order

sleep hiding in the fields green and singing

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Thursday 12 July 1666.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

is a fur of
breaking the ear
