Erasure of My Own Draft

Perform an erasure on my own draft to find the essential poem.

Full draft:
{{draft}}

Erasure process:

1. **First pass:** Mark what feels absolutely essential
2. **Second pass:** Cut everything not marked
3. **Third pass:** Can you cut even more?
4. **Fourth pass:** Test if the remainder stands alone
5. **Fifth pass:** Add back only what is truly missing

Provide:
- The erased version with only essentials
- Word count comparison
- What the erasure reveals about the drafts core
- Whether the erasure or full draft is stronger

Sometimes the poem is hiding inside excess.

The erasure should feel like discovery, not destruction.
