Recluse
down comes night like a severe fly
I never see more than the ugly street and a couple of pigeons all day
light over the fields puts me in mind of when I used to shoot
and a pretty wife lies with so many lies
I go up to my chamber till midnight that grace
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Sunday 12 May 1667.
