Donna Fleischer

kHyal’s barcelona

photographed assemblages-- 
candy. fruit. the undersides of mushrooms. tulip and garlic bulbs. red onion, radish. toy 
assault weapons. red wisk detergent bottles. mosaic — walks, walls, even graffiti angels 
and devils. gaudi.

on a building
turist you are the terrorist–
the dripped black letters

pastel carousel horses around the corner from so many blood brown cloven hooves
strung on meat hooks. a street mime pinocchio with the cricket on his sleeve. and 
sleeping beauty, who offers up a serpent in one hand, an apple in the other. the bulge
of her vinyl breasts.

kiosk postcard snaps of dishy women kissing each other, some looking criminally
insane. the giant billboard of dali’s “great masturbator”.

silvery fish on ice
a man seated at a café
his scared eyes

the floodlights. packaged in rows of corrugated box cartons; each bell-shaped glass
bulb rendered in rounded, thick, black strokes holding pinkorange pools of light,
endlessly repeating, pulling you in.
