Black Deconstruction Paper by Chad M. Horn

BLACK DECONSTRUCTION PAPER

I.

piles to shred or burn
evidence of what once was
dated documents
damning dead- end paper trails
confiscated in Ex- raid

II.

misleading message
words redacted, retracted
censored sentiments
love letters blotted-out- black
erasure poem format

III.

potential pen pal
edited my manuscript
with black hi- lighter
once a novel idea;
now disjointed adjectives
