Ekphrasis on Salvador Dali's "Maelstrom", 1929
January 7, 2013
abstract, my head
stitched up and
made of lead
in an ulterior land
stitched up and
aimlessly stumbling
in an ulterior land
thoughts are tumbling
aimlessly stumbling
into a catastrophe
thoughts are tumbling
in my tragedy
into a catastrophe
will you follow me
through my tragedy?
a maelstrom of debris
will you follow me?
wallow in tacks and nails
a maelstrom of debris
insanity always prevails
wallowing in tacks and nails
the figure in the doorway,
Insanity always prevails
will I ever find a way?
the figure in the doorway
he is a phantom
will I ever find a way
out of this shaded kingdom?
he is a phantom
abstract, my head
out of this shaded kingdom
made of lead
