When Picasso Sleeps

I have heard it said:
“Music is a notion,
a pilot and a potion.”
If this is true then
painting must be motion,
violence and devotion.
The two art forms cooperate,
of course—where painting’s
art-work ends, music’s
begins and vice versa—
when Picasso sleeps,
Igor Stravinsky wakens.
