A blackout poem made from a page of Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman. Lines of the original text are struck through with thread, which has been sewn across the page. The words of the poem are circled, also in thread.

By Benjamin Aldes Wurgaft

The aria
shining,
ecstatic,
Demon or bird! (said the boy’s soul,)
Never more
Never more
