WHO CAN LOOSE

This image shows a blackout poem made from a page of William Shakespeare's Henry VIII. Some sentences and words have been drawn over, shortening the text and creating a poem from the remaining sentences and paragraphs. The black ink used to cover parts of the text is also smudged around the page, partially obscuring some parts of the paper. Two flowers lay on opposite corners of the page.
