Wearing a heart monitor is annoying at the least
Aware of it's function, gives an indication of heart grief
Whether healthy of not
Free of nasty blood clots
Annoying, but could indicate a life long yummy feast...

I died on surgeons table
Before surgeons knife sliced my chest 
Before anesthesia put me to rest 
I died in imagination as hopes die in fable 

Vivid thoughts ran amok
Which new abode I will go, if I die 
What new way I will live, if I...

Can I go to the bathroom? This place is full of jackasses. This place is full of jackasses jerking each other off. This place is full of ignorant, parochial, zit-sucking jackasses undeserving of their place at the table. This place is full of miserable, zombie-like...

Uniform waves
On a blue LED screen

Quiet approach

We are travelling in two parallel lines 
With God and the universe
Truths and logics are hidden and twisted 
Many politicians...

The Composition of Shadows (II)
by Michael R. Burch
 
We breathe and so we write;
the night
hums softly its accompaniment.
 
Pale phosphors burn;

And what we mean
we write to learn:
the vowels of love, the consonants’
 
strange golden weight,
the blood’s...

The month May had brought the hottest summer early                          
 Decided to go to our village cottage.   ...
