Dividido verticalmente en dos partes, el cuadro presenta una estructura que continúa el diálogo establecido por su predecesor, "Escritos I". En la sección inferior, emerge la cabeza de una escultura romana, una representación de una mujer que evoca la figura de una diosa, símbolo de la escritura y la inteligencia humanas. Esta imagen se yuxtapone sobre un fondo que sugiere la presencia de escritura, aunque los caracteres no son legibles en términos de ningún idioma específico. Más bien, se trata de signos que evocan la idea de escritura, remontándose a las formas primigenias de expresión humana.
La cabeza de la escultura, en comparación con su versión anterior, presenta un tratamiento de color que resalta tonos más fríos, especialmente en un azul turquesa que agrega una dimensión diferente a la obra.
En la sección superior del cuadro, un cuadrado contiene un fondo gris cálido, interrumpido por una mancha horizontal de tono carmesí. Esta mancha sugiere un estallido, una explosión creativa que simboliza el proceso de creación literaria. Representa el flujo del conocimiento que el ser humano adquiere y plasma a lo largo de su existencia, una narrativa que se despliega a medida que el individuo avanza en su viaje por el mundo.
