One Hundred Nine Years

Salvador Dalí and An Egg
Václav Chochola, 1969

 

 

 

 

 

Ten tens and nine
Fifty-four and a half, doubled
CIX

The anima breath, sent forth
To circle the earth
A magnum opus

On this sacred wind
Sinewy fingers grasping
To pluck at bones of wisdom

The ancient hand will raise you up
You shall see the valley
Of tiny frogs hidden

Under a liquid sky, tinged with pink
The moss of the lost city beckons
The river of colors washes your eyes

Birds will nest in your ears
And lay eggs with messages
To be opened with teeth

You will bring them to me
Your ears with egg messages
And we will eat the prophecies

Only thus shall we live forever
Beyond the jungle
In the cup of dreams
