How Bizarre Picasso's Guernica

had a strange bizarre idea
an explosive expression of force
a kind of Kung Fu high ya

to write split images
slicing Picasso's Guernica
are ambitious goals

‘Counting Skeletons
Maze Masterpiece War' cannon fodders
expendable human wave attacks

counting skeletons
military civilians animals
far too complex figures

for mind dumb numb critics
expecting classical critiques
lacking Geneva Conventions

tone deaf paint strokes
powerfully counting skeletons
symbolist blood cubism's

splitting images
is poetic cubism slices
shifting images

lenses
original concepts
shifts

heightened are purifications
lenses through looking glass
quality intensity frequencies

window frame shattered glass
reflects no light dust disembowels
nail polish veneer shade layers

behold I am the light sparks
cast upon yonder wall outpourings
what colours abuses decays?

images screaming ghosts
paper mache bull's horns
tearing apart peace dreams

bits of newspapers
blue shadings
ripe purple bruises

a red tear streams
from screaming eye woman's
nightmare deletes

colours
so must Picasso's
images

final phases
defeat reeks
flesh decays

monochrome metal monsters
political black white gray tones
felt impact descent bomb blasts

evokes deaths
flesh sufferings
war insanities

lick wounds
impaled oozing sacrifices
histories pages
