MAGPIE...Prompt #136


                                                       FLYING DOWN/ 2006/ David Salle


Thanks to Tess at Magpie Tales.


COLLAGE

My dream vibrates,
won't let me shed it.

As a rule
sunshine melts
the night's exploitation,
thoughts soon fly away
like crafty ravens,
but not those hovering
in the hours
of last night's darkness.

A gilt frame surrounds
my prevailing life.
A two way mirror allows
Freud to peek in
on the old guilt.

I'm a collage,
layers attached
but transportable,
not embarrassed
by my naked derriere.
Dreams intact.

I suppose we are all a collage. Never thought of it that way.

Well done. Watch out for those two-way mirrors...

Hi Lyn! ... 'I'm a collage,layers attached but transportable' ... gets right to the essence of his painting!!

Lyn said...

Hi Helen-
Thank you so much...I had to look at the pic for a long time before I "got" it!

This makes me see myself as a sort of photoshopped image surrounded by a Guilt-Frame, i dig it.

PattiKen said...

Nice meeting Freud in your dreams, especially when they are as "revealing" as this one. Fun to read. Thanks.

I love your poem, but I still do not understand the art. I am reminded of the Beatles song, "Tomorrow Never Knows." , especially the part about surrendering to the void. Always keep the dreams intact. I love your work, Lyn.

Lyn said...

Hi PattiKen-
Glad you enjoyed it..nice hearing from you...

Lyn said...

Hi Linda-
That's a good way to see art, to surrender to the artist's vision, which she doesn't always know the meaning of either. Thanks so much for your great comment!

Olivia said...
