A found poem is a set of words you find somewhere, not originally intended as a poem, but in which you see or ‘find’ the poem that hides there. With the non-erasure kind, the words will be close together, the poem discoverable in the particular sequence.

each awakening
strong bones of morning sunlight 
prop these covid days

about those bones
tree branches hold tightly to
some of the light

ask of yesterday
why again must the bones of
rising day rattle

in the songs of birds
some familiar tarsals
flesh fragrance to buds
