A blackout poem made from a page of Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman. Lines are blacked out with black marker, and a cutout image is glued to the right side, featuring a series of black lines on a white background.

By MW

I ascend the cliff
and live
self-contain’d,
satisfied,
happy.
I wonder
at the
Infinite
reach of
love
