The image presents a poem by Stuart Cooke, titled "from 'Possibility,’” set against a blue gradient background that transitions from white at the edges to a deeper blue towards the center. The poem is written in black text and reads:

"Witness now this truth the raisin's
but synecdoche for the kibble's
soily directrix, realism's handicuffs—sifting
clumped momentum through a scary,
thrasonical nitrogen, fleuron
assaults outrun the bombardiers, then linger
hideously—undone as the slack-baked"

At the bottom of the image, the text "ballast 3.2" and "ballastjournal.com" are displayed in black font.
