Erasing Metaphor – 22nd December 2024

plain and simple
hey symbolic metaphors
late night sleep

a bowl of your pretty little mind
a pair of red leaves fall
wine walking

this day is a week
you want good
not better

your cup now is September
how many I love have flown my kitchen
arranging a perfect child

I like to eat then, forgetting the ocean
a restlessness or
inhabiting quiet

some never talk again
and now to cut up a life
could I have chosen myself

An erasure poem adapted from this wonderful writing at tiny hearts (see below)
