Untitled Visual Poem

By Tea Gerbeza
Over a white background, various paper-quilled shapes are laid out in two curved lines. Shapes include a tight coiled circle, a teardrop, a triangle, a long looped teardrop, a heart, a diamond, a heart-scroll, a wave, an open coil, an s-scroll and c-scroll, eye marquise, a crescent, and another wave shape with two long looped shapes across from it. Among the quilled shapes are these words: “(vertebrae aligned) / (in a series) / (compose) / S) / crook / (affects structure) / (of / the / rest)
