Chuck Salmons
Salvador Dali Considers the Schizophrenic
beauty in the world is a caul
god a cosmic G-spot in our minds
your mind bewitched by dreams
your emotions water
traipsing a cliff face
during seizure you claim omniscience
tethered to god
like a child in the womb-umbilicus mundi
time is the cage without bars
melting as you soar
when you fall
sorrow drowns you in a swell of color
swirling into blackness
