I had no WiFi as I was on a flight and had painting screenshot from earlier. Was glad it was called Rest, means my poem fits. However I hadn't researched the painting to know Marc's intent.
Ever sunk so low that mellow hits
Your dreams cascade directly from the sky
Cavities of the underground cushion
The world splits into primary colours
Stretching of limbs a forever of blissful
Everything arches
Towns slink away to rest untroublingly elsewhere
The here and now evaporates
Becomes the inhalation
You breathe it in, dutifully
Reach euphoria
Fly away with that one bird
Be the product of a thousand wombs
Every spell I cast sets a different hue
I swallow everything but the outline
Am satiated
Should I wake - the scene will crumble
I'll rise and see the depravation of this reality
Then start again from scratch
So I'll sleep for now
