A blackout poem made from a page of poetry by Emily Dickinson. A starry sky is drawn over parts of the poem and the remaining words are boxed and highlighted in yellow. Sheet music is pasted in the margins of the page. The silhouette of a person reaching up toward the poem is cut out of colorful construction paper and pasted on the page.

The blessed taught them
heaven was too common to miss,
INCONCEIVABLY
Things
Pierce by the very press
Of imgery.

Halt
A pleading
sight,
no eye
Ever
steady.
Music
Aches with
drums to hear.

I dare to be sad
A load
we have put down.
The Superhuman
who never saw
the other side
perish n0w.
