IF YOU SPEAK

This image shows a blackout poetry piece created on a page with the header "MURDER IN THE CATHEDRAL". The page has been nearly completely covered with a colored pencil illustration. In orange, the artist has drawn a large eagle in the center of the page, flying over a trio of small doves at the bottom of the page. The background is colored in black, with pencil marks visible. Select words from the page's original text have been left uncovered, and outlined in black pen, forming a new poetic message against the illustrated background.

IF YOU SPEAK

If you speak

ask
For 
protection

We expect
the
King’s undoing

a thousand to one
a future
I rule

like an eagle over doves
as you have done before
