The Memory of Persistence

Time melts away.

So slowly

the clocks

begin to bend

black terror reigns

over the only

unaltered piece

of memory left

The persistence

of the hands

on the face

tell of a time

when blue

was still seen

and before red

bared white.

You did a splendid job putting in your thoughts of Salvador Dali's masterpiece into a different perspective of your imagination. Nicely done.
