Surrealism

“The Burning Giraffe” by Salvador Dali

 

flights of deconstruct
reconstruct fancy
fantastical visions
dismembered familiar
atrocities masked of
their outrage composed
revolutions of images
straddling the gap
between dreams
and reality raising up
visual voices that clang
in the ear of the eye

prima facie absurdity
shot through with
uncontrolled rational
politics viewpoints
exempt from esthetical
colloquy lifting the work
off its page off its canvas
to float on provocative
currents of thought

unforgettable statements
the art of anarchic
surprise using juxtaposed
features of chaos as
message and medium
