• Thought of erasing

   

  Construction – the very word itself

  is longer than image, toil and sweat

  going into the mindset of those involved

   be it artisan, mason, poet or architect;

   

  how much of planning and project

  into the outline, inviting word and images

  fix and decorate into the auditorium

   draw and paint dipping into acrylic

   

  with brushes of deft strokes every where

  selected, touch and smell the paint;

  ready for scaffolding, write and draft;

  all for records, posterity and content;

   

  but a sudden   hand of blunt and mad

  rush  embarks  upon erasing, rubbing,

   not for progress, but for erasure

   to destroy from page, image, history;

   

  woe to the  hand plunges upon erasure

  woe to the mind plotting to blot and remove

   those that require  consolidation and construction.

  
  

   woe to the very concept of erasure.
