the grave, or the living animal

This image shows a blackout poetry piece created on page 49 of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”. The original text is predominantly obscured with black marker, with colorful drawings of plants and a skull drawn atop the obscured parts of the text. Select words and phrases have been left uncovered, creating a new poetic message against the drawn-over background.

the grave, or the living animal

urge forward;
for this one pursuit.

bones disturbed,
the
cell, separated
by
sockets
dissecting
nature

in one pursuit.
a plentiful harvest, yield
s the charm of nature.
