Cessation Summary 

the girl began scraping off
distress
clawing it with bare fingers
steel
blade
blood combined
via passage light travels
leaps
bounces
eyes praise honey
this coat so private
amplified
to rise above

Off prompt today. Erasure poem created from the essay “New Technologies of Reading” by Angela Woodward in 2017 Pushcart Prize XLI anthology.

My “Something Small, Every Day (or so)” series is inspired by Austin Kleon’s piece here where he says, “Building a body of work (or a life) is all about the slow accumulation of a day’s worth of effort over time.”
