Dali Paints Exploding Head

Six years after the atomic bomb
Plunked down in Hiroshima 
Tearing people into pieces
Dali was still losing sleep over it

He begins to collect strips and struts
Developing a surreal idea of what he is about
Collects arrowheads, wire, bits of bone.
Defers from his usual style

Puts together Raphaelesque Head Exploding
A tiny canvas with a large message
Showing his disdain for atomic bombs
And the barbaric aftermaths
