each donning Dali’s moustache -
Narcissus shatters

by: Darren Bourne

Darren Bourne’s surreal poem came to life while he was making AI video experiments based on Salvador Dalí’s Metamorphosis of Narcissus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamorphosis_of_Narcissus)

"According to expert Jane Reichhold, the *hai* of haiku means “joke, or fun, or unusual”, which is part of the inspiration behind the name halF unusuaL, the experimental electronic music project of Darren Bourne, who also writes haiku and has been published by the British Haiku Society."

You can find Darren’s music here - https://soundcloud.com/half-unusual and here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb2bmRZgyBACkW6lnkTWHSw, and check out his website (https://www.halfunusual.com/) to find out more about his publications and merchandise.
