Alice's sleeping

 Yuri Kalyuta painting
by Yuri Kalyuta

Alice – sleeping…
  The forms so airy…
    For grown ups
      the clothes
       haven’t been
           prepared…

Who’ll reconcile
  her consciousness
     with a size –
        so overgrown
           a chessboard,-
              big dreams
                 and…
                     closed eyes.

  1. nice nod to alice...nice play as well on the checkered chair as the chessboard of her consciousness..i guess its all in why she did...as now she is immortalized in art...
