PAIN WITHIN THE SKULL

This image shows a blackout poetry piece created on a page of a T.S. Eliot poetry anthology. The background is predominantly drawn over in black marker, obscuring most of the original text. An image of a car with its hood popped is pasted at the top of the page, and drawn over with a small illustration of a bird. Select words and phrases are left untouched, forming a new poetic message against the dark background.

PAIN WITHIN THE SKULL

pain within the skull

unravels as you weave

hidden
in sight

sung

in the storm

exist
exist

never complete

affirm in living

the earth worm
in the belly

consciously praise
the hand back bent

the face head bent
