Erasures:

making hay from old notes

      for Mark Young

1)
opening
tombstones hides
rolling sand soon

2)
pink
curtain clouds
rubbing yr photograph

3)
edges
plunge discover
like bath fingers

4)
me
dampening sentimentality
with old yogurt

5)
drives
repeat eyes
we wet ourselves

6)
stalk
root of
scratchd nun monthly

7)
avocado
mite blow
sky pie dresser

8)
imaginary
never never
teaches lovers distrust

9)
of
some beauty
only deep dark

10)
survive
winter poems
heat eats Keats

11)
face
bed tension
without discovering skin

12)
skullcap
scrapes with
apprehensive to down

13)
from
triangles dead
some wastd chocolate

Sweet!
I hope this won't be your last hay(na)ku foray, Alex.

Thanks, too, for the personalized stamp in the mail the other day.

Be well, amigo.
