Analysis of homage to Dali
A fish, jumps from the water,
to land in my mind.
As the kiss, from a dying sun,
gilds my shell to gold.
THEN!
Time melts, in blazing red,
as distorted air reflects the heat.
NOW!
Shadows lengthen, to reveal, a chrysalis,
shaped like a man.
Shedding, to change,into.
ME.
For something so profound.
As SHOPPING.
