after Salvador Dali
Ticked
_____and skittered, ticked
and skittered, trick-
_____________ery of minutes in the midnight hour
The room moves
_______a mind unstitching itself
Something tries to walk up
______where skull meets vertebrae,
________maddening as rats scrabbling in walls
____________and you
______and you follow the voices, try
to nail them down and
the night like violin wire, strung tight
__________________________across the eye
It is times like these, when the music
_____won’t stop, you dream
________________________in sepia

The art inspiration seems to be working quite nicely for you. Yay! I'm glad you have finally broken through the writer's block. Nice piece. I really like "a mind unstitching itself" and "you dream in sepia"
Thanks, Ann...yes, these great works of art have inspired me quite a bit. I'm glad you like it.
