THE FAMILY REUNION

This image shows a blackout poetry piece created on a page with the header "THE FAMILY REUNION". An image of a mother and daughter in front of their house is pasted to the page. The original words of the page are mostly drawn over in black marker, with visible brush strokes and gaps between marks, imitating the pattern of the wood siding of the house. Select words and phrases are left uncovered, forming a new poetic message against the background.

Out of

all in one life,
as a child

always seemed
I was
different
so much in awe.
