~ erasure poem based on The First Voyage Round the World;
Antonio Pigafetta, 1874
1.
( illustrious and very
reverend )
permit me to see
and suffer
but also desire
By which
voyage
I wished to go;
therefore by night
a torch of burning wood
a
thick cord of reeds
well soaked in water
two lights
the studding sail
an answering signal
