Bulgakov's Master and Margharita has inspired much art including films and plays. And it obviously has tweaked something in you, which is amazing. Even though Russian productions are banned in the official theatres in Poland, Buffo is playing The Master and Margharita in their private theatre. I saw an incredible version of it in Avignon by Simon Mcburney. Thank you for your inspriration, I believe the transcendance of language and culture is critical in these horrid times.
The Master and Margarita remains one of my top 10 books. Even 25+ years after reading it for the first time, its wild and bold imagery sticks in my mind.
Like your poem - Warm, wet and Fuzzy with multiple taste buds! I did not know that Dali was supportive of Franco or fascism in general. Curious to know where this claim/note came from. Have you ever seen his collaboration with Walt Disney - Destino? Here's linl https://youtu.be/y_TlaxmOKqs?si=qpwbZDyQTnqcHFFh
The claim comes from the book I'm reading - having researched it too, there is evidence of his proximity to facism and Franco. I have not seen this I will take a look, thanks!
Wow I didn’t know it was banned. I’m glad you were still able to see it. I agree the sharing of artforms is critical in facilitating the empathetic cross cultural communication that is needed.

Beautiful poem—and then even more so with your provided context. I do love to hear creatives' thoughts behind their works; its all so interesting!
Thank you!

And your poem, these lines especially:
You do -
And it is salty
And it makes your lips crack
And it slips profanities through these gaps.
-wonderful!
Thank you! And yes, I love Bulgakov - have you read 'The heart of a dog' I think it might be even better
Yes! I have and I agree.

And Dali’s tongue curls like the melting clock in his painting bending time to his own ends.
