Mondfische
(Museum moderner Kunst)
Der weiße Dämmer:
von Regenbogenfängern
mit Blüten bestückt.
*
Bunte Mondfische…?
Wirklicher als Wirklichkeit
hier im Tagtraumteich.
*
Praller Löwenzahn,
tausendfach, singt der Sonne
aus voller Kehle!

These poems were inspired by an exhibition of modernist art at the Max Ernst Museum Brühl. Germany. The bizarre and very colourful ‘moonfish’ make an appearance in the painting Mondfische (1917); I show a similar work here.
In a way, visual art is more real than reality. In Quest / Suche, I claim the same for music.
