Reconciliation Of Memory Poem by Zachary Zuccaro

Reconciliation

to be surrounded by a soundscape
of incongruent reconciliations.
Citizens confessing sins
to uninterested strangers

The Poem

The Red Wheelbarrow

The verdict of the jury
hangs
on a droplet of blood
found on the red wheelbarrow
solemnly sitting
beside the white chickens.

A man's life depends
on the red wheelbarrow.
