tell us about doubt - Small Wonders A priest / of the Universe / began

We love a good erasure poem, where the poet creates a poem by removing words from an existing text. In "tell us about doubt", Rath Mercury has gifted us with a two-stranded poem about the universe.

The Way by David Rosenthal 

on a line from Wang Wei

This is the way I do things now:
I grimace through the sudden gripping pains 
that always take me by surprise somehow,

and minimize whatever fleeting gains 
I manage day to day. The simple lunch 
I pack with care the night before contains

low sodium, low fat, whole grains, a bunch 
of apple slices that have slightly browned 
by one o'clock, but still provide a crunch

that pleases me - the tartness and the sound 
redeem the chalky rattle of the pills 
I swallow for my breakfast. I have found

a fragile string of minor gifts fulfills 
me most these days - one of midlife's clichés, 
though less so than a vain pursuit of thrills.

Some years from now, I'll run across the phrase,
"in middle age I came to love the tao," 
and laugh, and while away my latter days.

Here’s a poem I had in @cosmicdaffodil.bsky.social a couple years ago. Just because I’ve been thinking about it lately.
