To year

A blackout poem made from a page of table of contents of Emily Dickinson's poetry. Most of the page is covered in black marker, with the remaining words creating a poem. Circles of color are drawn around the words. At the bottom is a torn page of Spanish handwriting and a line drawing of a face in an expressive style.

To year
To clover and bee
To Death
To routine
To leave
Too this.
To brave
Too lie
Too Belief,
To Thunder
To world like her
To beauty
To Dust
To apartment
To simple
To morning for nights

the time
fitted me,
in
time
later summer
such
pain,
warm like us
Two butterflies
every day
like story
