That scatters into 

A bust of Swahili...

My Goldfish

The profit mold of imperfection

Waking

...WAKING

I woke from a dream
to a clear mellow voice floating
through the valley like the sacred
oscillation of a singing prayer bowl,
the reverberating ring of its braided
harmonics as sharp a...

Sunbathe,
ozone baby,
till your parched skin cracks
in the white-hot flash
of radiation.

Incantation
from your pale parched lips

Brother Iran

...Brother Iran
by Michael R. Burch
 
Brother Iran, I feel your pain.
I feel it as when the Turk fled Spain.
As the Jew fled, too, that constricting span,
I feel your pain, Brother Iran.

by Ahmad Faraz

Even in the torture chamber, I was the lucky one;
When each lottery was over, unaccountably I had won.

See

...See
by Michael R. Burch

See how her hair has thinned: it doesn’t seem
like hair at all, but like the airy moult
of emus who outraced the wind and left
soft plumage in their wake. See how her e...

Alova

...
Alova ... 
she’s the leaven princess 
of oven bosom tear oppression

Her violet Persian neutering rug

cougar mating feral aggression

It’s her purple passio...

Though some may look at me with veiled disdain
To honored heritage I give a shout
And here I bare my love in words so plain

Put that deer herself in nets she's wrought so deep;

If my sleeping luck were not unkind like her,
Would I do so much her laxing ...

When I had actually done some of the worst

I thought I could  do better than Him
Chained myself in guilt and disgr...

Poem For the Middle East

...Wild fighting 
   and thousands made homeless 
                                or 
                                killed
   As the song goes "When will they ever learn?"
 I have only been to Is...

UN' ombra si insinua che 
Detiene ancora I cercano 
Luce e cume s...
