Emily Dashes ·

A blackout poem made from a page of poetry by Emily Dickinson. Portions of the text are crossed out with red-violet marker. On the left margin is a simple drawing of a faceless pregnant person in a dress. A tall flower blooms out of their stomach, reaching the top of the poem.

XLVI
THE largest
afternoon,
surprise,
Proceeds with concern:
Consumes, and no report to men.

XLVII
BLOOM upon
me.
Reproduced, the same.
Seed, I, sowing
Witness,
me
expanding,
Indicating by no muscle
The Experience.
