Waterbound

erasure of a page from Samuel Pepys' diary

Troubled with abundance of sea,
land going to water,

I rent a raft and eat tongue,
a fat joy in the chapel Chance.

I study how this day dissolved
without fire, sad in mind.


Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Friday 16 March 1659/60.
