The image is a surreal portrait of a man with a mustache and intense eyes, rendered in a minimalist, sketch-like style. The upper part of the portrait is surrounded by an explosion of abstract, colorful paint streaks and textures, including elements resembling crumpled paper and net-like patterns.

Trees Leaping Greenly Toward Sky True Dream Ears Awake
Gavin Gamboa

NO, MY LIFE IS NOT THIS PRECIPITOUS HOUR
through which you see me passing at a run.
I stand before my background like a tree.
Of all my many mouths I am but one,
and that which soonest chooses to be dumb.

I am the rest between two notes
which, struck together, sound discordantly,
because death's note would claim a higher key.

But in the dark pause, trembling, the notes meet,
harmonious.

And the song continues sweet.

Rainer Maria Rilke
The Book of Hours (1903)
