Premium Member What the Morning Leaves Behind
I woke this morning to the thick breath of heat, a humid Sunday rising slow as regret. The tulip tree leaves hung there, backlit like stained glass in a forgotten chapel, and beneath the sagging feeder, a ragged pile of feathers—gray, white, brown— strewn across the grass, as though something holy had been torn apart in the night. Fox, coyote, hawk— it hardly matters. Something lived, and...

James Almighty
I swore one day the world would see, Who I was and wanted to be, And now I thank the former me For keeping faith, that was key. Through every role, both big and small, I stayed in love, I gave my all. My little girl made me see, That being her star was all I had to be. In ‘94 my fame...

We shall all pass into the great beyond; Will these politicians find a way to bond, Put aside their swords of tongue and lash, so in heaven, no need for teeth to gnash? Will these men and women embrace the...

Farewell Advent! by James Ryman translation
Farewell Advent! by James Ryman translation by Michael R. Burch Farewell, Advent; Christmas has come; Farewell from us, both all and some. With patience thou hast us fed Yet made us go hungry to bed; For lack of meat, we were nigh dead; Farewell from us, both all and some. When you came, hasty, to our house, We ate no puddings, no, nor souce, But stinking...
