Metamorphosis of Naricssus

 
Imbibe they, the crystal shallowness,
Glowing, in minds of disharmony.
My thoughts intuit decrepitness
In their eyes, that murder me.

With daggers sharp, within,
Wherever I walk every day.
Eternity grows so thin,
To the sojourn, as I make my way.

Down its corridors, I realize
Where Vlaminck rapes Renoir,
As Dali’s visions bastardize,
My mind, he’s painted thus far.

And in the mission’s silence,
My travels begin to write,
What is unknown to my audience,
In the mansions of my flight.

Over the terrace, it’s scattered –
A breath is a fleeting moment;
Down below, now shattered,
With not even me, to relent.

Author's Note
The poem’s title was named after a Salvador Dali painting, from his paranoiac-critical period. There he embraced surrealism, which abounded in numerous images and optical illusions.  Extrapolating from that, I described a temporary phase I felt I was traipsing, and housed, in.  Artistic metaphor, of course, enhanced the drama.
