KEEP DESIRE

This image shows a blackout poetry piece created on a page with the header "MURDER IN THE CATHEDRAL". The page has been drawn over in warm-toned pastels, forming the image of an anatomical heart with a bright orange and yellow background. Select words from the page's original text have been left uncovered, forming a new poetic message against the illustration.
