~ erasure poem based on The First Voyage Round the World;
Antonio Pigafetta, 1874
6.
The captain
showed
them all his goods and
also had some shots fired with his artillery they were
afraid that they wished to jump into the sea
we saw came two long boats, which they call
Ballanghai
the king ordered to be brought a dish of pig's flesh and
wine they first raise their hands to heaven
I ate flesh on Good Friday
