Of St. Anthony's Temptation,
At the tender age of ten, or maybe twelve
Long before I'd seen
The Elephants of Hell
Or had been introduced
To Salvador's three ages
Old Age, Adolescence, and Infancy
I'm sure I felt the same sensation,
Dreaming, as viewing
The Christ of St. John of the Cross
Confused, confounded
Ownership usurped,
My dreams impounded
Decades before i'd touch
Canvas to brush...
Or,
Feel the visceral rush
One Moment After Awakening
From a Dream
Caused by the Flight
Of a Bumblebee around a Pomegranate
Or bore silent witness to
The Persistence of Memory
Or even, set in words, mostly his own
This humble homage
To The Hallucinogenic Torreador
The esteemed,
Senor, Dali
