~ erasure poem based on The First Voyage Round the World;
Antonio Pigafetta, 1874

In the island are mines of gold, which they
find in pieces as big as a walnut or an egg
he had a cross
he showed them the
sign of the emperor his lord and master
we saw many houses built on trees
if he
wished for peace he would have peace if he wished for war he would have war
