reality is broken
melting like the soft clocks winking at me,
From the wall smeared with green/gray paint.
swimming with the silent fish,
in the bubbling, boiling pools.
liquefied air.

those elephants with the twig legs,

the stone knock-knees,
in slingshots swinging,
singing to me luxuriously and I am raptured from
the cracked and bleeding mirror.
reality is broken,
toiling away at Listerine dreams,
purifying essences of flowered head,
yet pouring on the blank desert,
strewn with teeth,
the gold liquid,
healing and gracefully,
embracing the shattered pieces in hands
of silvered, glowing heart.
Α Ω A
Cope with your heart
O flame of lilting yesteryear.
Fill the part
fill the part
Time is dead
Rigidity is overthrown
Life grows and the vines wrap round
Your neck

Great poem. And not because Dali is one of my favorites. Are you familiar with his 'paranoid critical transformation method'? Very interesting. The big Dali museum here in St Pete is awesome. A walk trough on shrooms is the way to go. I'm not condoning anything though.
This poem is right on key.

Thanks. No I'm not.
I've just recently began to look at dali. But I love it.

You are a great writer Codey.
I so enjoy all that you write.

This is slightly insane, which is perfect.
