- The image features a collage of various materials, including a photograph of a classical nude figure, possibly Venus, with her hand near her chest. The figure is surrounded by purple and pink fabric-like textures. The page is open to a handwritten text that appears to be a poem or reflection, with the word "FLAME" prominently written at the top. The handwriting is in cursive and includes phrases like "will bud Soon, we will bask in the sun," and "Lying dormant until." The page is adorned with small decorative elements such as ribbons and possibly a small piece of fabric or paper.

FLAME
will bud Soon, we will bask
in the sun
Left:
"warming goodness like
springtime."
is goodness something like a tulip bulb
Lying dormant unti properly warmed by the sun
or by human reflected
light. And warmth?
This would indicate
that a massive
warming is what's
needed to animate
goodness. - Rights
