sleep forces dawn

This image shows a blackout poetry piece with a header that shows it is a T.S. Eliot work. The page is covered in washi tape, placed in all different directions. The designs of the washi tape include a galaxy design, a design with pink diamonds and purple and green stripes, a design with green stripes and a black stripe with squares in middle, a gold and black triangular design, and a gold and black abstract circular shape design. The tape is positioned in a way that covers most of the words, except for a few. These remaining words reveal a poetic message.

sleep forces dawn

sleep
forces
dawn
slant
slug
morning shine
the enquiring worm
Will follow
The juice
And round
finches and fairies

Next This way
Previous you simply do not understand innocence
