Wearily

The image shows a blackout poetry piece which has been covered with white parchment paper and holes cut out to reveal certain words, and altogether, a poetic message. The words are also circled in black marker. The page is bordered with washi tape that has a white grid design. On the top right and bottom left corner of the page there are some newspaper clippings. The former one is just words, but the latter one is words and a drawing of an "AMERICAN BUGGY" as it says beneath the drawing.

Wearily

Wearily,
was my maiden aunt
in a small house
silence
silence
upon the dining-table
smoked
danced
