Chaos And The Bluebird Poem by Zachary Zuccaro

Dictionary

The canary proceeds into the cave
where she is enveloped in methane.

Taking a deep breath,
she dives beneath the waves,
and encounters a squid
bellowing its trumpet
with the rest of the band
as they perform before the president
who is signing a peace treaty
with the lizards
who stole the canary's eggs.




Cigarettes

I sigh
as I watch
people walk along the street
stabbing knives
into their chests.

Bluebird

A sapphiric bluebird
perches upon a roll of toilet paper
hovering over the wedding
between a caterpillar and a rose.

The little bird rudely interrupts
the sacrament of matrimony
by consuming the bride

Beauty

What is beauty
without ugliness?




Conflict

I admire artists
and indeed people claim
'a picture is worth a thousand words'
yet I can write two-thousand words
in the time it takes me
to create one picture.




Bottle

An obsidian bottle
enthusiastically consumes itself
only to find itself
consuming its regurgitation.




The Katana


The katana
with her long, steel blade,
the product of countless hours
of careful and exacting work,
gleams proudly
by her samurai's side.




Melancholy

After a century of despair
the immortal angel
attempts suicide once again.

Blood drips from her throat
soaking her white gown
and forming a pool on the ground.

Yet she lives on.




Another Nature Scene

Sitting on a short stone wall
in the woods
with tall green weeds
growing at my feet
and a burbling brook
behind me.




Cuticle

A monkey sits on the pier
trimming her fingernails
which fall into the ocean
and are consumed
by rainbow-coloured squid.





Covered

A white silken cloth
covers
it.





Disgust

Relentless loathing
towards misrepresentations
and inadequate representations
proclaiming false realities.



Despair

The fountain of worry
irrigates the desert
of despair.
