Persistence of memory

Maria I. Aslanidi 1975 (Chios)

Free Verse
Time hangs all over the place.
Its veil covers every particle of being.
Its substance abstract and unseen,
Yet felt,
Causing anxiety, grief.
Persisting time or
Am I the one persisting
That Time persists?

About this poem

The poem is based on the work "La persistencia de la memoria" by Dali (1831). It is an experimentation of artistic research writing exploring various styles of connecting one work of art to another.
