SALVADOR DALI
(1904-1989)
MA FEMME, NUE, REGARDANT SON POPRE CORPS
(Dali)
Am looking through you, where did you go?
The embrace you give no longer holds me tight
But the smile you give more than elaborates
the happiness that comes in packages of two's.
Believe me when I say
I try.
PH. M. GINIES
(Dali)
Oblivious to science but in tune with harmony
leaves of grass and fixed petals
fly into the horizon full of wonder and awe.
I surmise the sun will eventually wink in
disbelief as petals get wafted upwards instead.
CLOCK EXPLOSION
(Dali)
Screams I heard but they were louder
than church bells could emit
Bent steel and oozing oil flow like lava
from a frozen lake in existence long before time.
What time?
TULIP
(Prince)
Simply beautiful.
Dazzling.
FACE TO FACE
"Four score and seven years ago our forefathers
brought forth on this continent a new nation..."
Meet Abe face-to-face in South Dakota. He is waiting
for you on Mount Rushmore . Witness the grandeur of
the Great Emancipator.
LUNCH ON A SKYSCRAPER, 1932
A long drop from up here.
But who cares about the height when
lunch is called?
WASSILY KANDINSKY
(1866-1944)
AQUARELLE
(Kandinsky)
There are twists and turns, zigs and zags.
As we traverse the paths to our destinies
we tend to notice some of the subtle things
that may mean a little more than we think.
And we wonder why life is strange...
HELLES BILD
(Kandinsky)
Do we dream in color? Or is it in black in white? Next time you
close your eyes and dream, remember to be more attentive.
The mind plays games. That's why there are good dreams.
And bad ones, too.
GARDEN GATE
(Macke)
I fell flat on my face and suddenly
there was stillness in the air.
But it was a fair day but I see no light
My fingers numb, I tried to cry out
Nothing but silence came out.
ENDLESS WALL
(Gruse)
It's the journey's end
tired and weary they stand tall
Calloused hands, tattered uniforms
Bloody faces, tortured minds
And met their deaths so a country can live.
