and you’ve always been
the best eraser:
all looks gray
until you massage paper
to the point of
sore cleansing
dots become tickles
thank you and apologies
with a Z between corrections
when it doesn’t seem enough
Author notes
To Sean. A big thank you for being my friend.
Erasers can delete insecurities and bring two words close together. But it is always a dusty and painful process, sometimes taking longer than we wish to spend on erasing, though without it calligraphy would be compromised.
The Z part is rather like an inside thingie. Don't bother to understand.

this is so delightful. I love the idea of someone being an eraser through the massage of writing to each other -- like getting rid of the pain through talking to somone who actually cares.

He seems like a really special friend, and a good one. Especially to inspire you to write about him a lot. I liked the concept of erasers and friends. Friends are good for helping wipe out the bad.
