Fetus...

Fetus...

Stubble speared the new moon
Breaking the egg
As golden
Alabaster quietly admitting
All uncertain treasures
Have a price bathing
As a fetus
Screaming
"I am in repair!"
But if I take my intuition's
Advice
I will paint
The cracks with wantonness
And the splattering
Itself
Will sing
A holy tune
As yet
Unsung...

This is a remarkably apt poetic echo of Dali's painting; matching surrealism with surrealism.

Oddly, it has the same flavour. It seems to illicit the same response deep in the gut.

Bravo!

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,

A beautiful tribute to one of the greatest artists in history, Salvador Dali.  If you and Cherie ever come to visit us in Florida, we have to go to the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.

He cared not what his critics thought

His brush was very free

He told them I'll paint what I feel

And not just what I see 

So because he stood his ground so tall

And was such an anomaly

His paintings hang in museums throughout the world

Displaying the "Great Dali"

Peace, Love and Rockets,

Larry xxx

My Dear Brother Tony,

A strange experience indeed.  Sometimes I think our dreams can be prophecies.  Your words about coming to Florida, "not an impossibility for sure", have made my day.  We'll keep a light on for you.

Peace, Love and Rockets,

Larry xxx
