Archaic Torso of Apollo: Rilke Translation
Archaic Torso of Apollo
by Rainer Maria Rilke
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
We cannot know the beheaded god
nor his eyes' forfeited visions. But still
the figure's trunk glows with the strange vitality
of a lamp lit from within,...

As Moon Beams Danced Across the Night Sky
when on a lark, this primate shut his eyes
until sight formed slits doubling up as a wink
this earthling stared hard and scrunched brow
unintentionally mimicking,
the familiar Auguste...

Noon time, the star in the sky burning at zenith
The deep azure, was radiant with fiery heat
Laid on the skyline, its dome calm and serene
The yonder river, slowly ran on the grey scene

Fleeting Echoes
Festive party
Celebrate something;
Warm humanity
~~~~~~~~~
One by one
People walk pass;
Lonely man waits

Dog walking fast
Master in tow;
Barks fine command
~~~~~~~~~
Two sparrows
Practice on wood bench;
Gospel of birdsong

Sea of faces
Hurry takes a break;
Crowded lift hijacks

Old shop houses
New paintwork shines;
Ancient looks new

The Curious Tradition of the Ashtray
(a love poem for my son)
Dreams spill out of sleep
sift across the hardwood floor
covers the window
in colors of May
slamming me back towards childhood
or perhaps just to the ashtray.
One forged with labor
in elementary school ceramics;

Loos, France, Fall 1915
Slaughter amongst the slag heaps
Bodies bowed over barb wire
Screeching, screaming
artillery arching above
soon to descend
amputating limbs
shattering skulls
blood and brains
splattering stains on
comrades too close
mixing with the mud
Grappling with grenades
Supplies short
London, Lancashire
and Lancaster lads
battling like beasts within
that Hohenzollern...

Clown At the Abyss-
Oh, Clown at the abyss;
We’re not laughing at you;
Not funny tis true, you're falling
This we do insist;
a comic entertainer one in a circus, you're falling
wearing a traditional costume and exaggerated makeup.
Lo! Grecian fall unsophisticated rustic;
Falling...

Don'T Blame Me: I Never Gave My Consent To Be Governed
Auguste Blanqui was correct to assert
"Revolutionaries aren't born, they are made"
They're being made everyday, but Sunday,
At the hands of a corrupt State,
One they've tirelessly helped to create
- If we are to become its...

Soliloquy In Three
Sculpture ~ The Thinker ~ Auguste Rodin
What's life for?
"To be or
not to be",
sums up me:
questioning
everything.
Should I go
or say no?
Do I fight
or take flight?
Close my eyes
or apprise
all that's swirled
in the world?
Go outside,
take...

Auguste
soon enough I discovered
her neighbor calls him Caspar or Caspor
but it wasn't long
before I named him Auguste
he has claimed my love's apartment—
even hypnotized her to have ready
water and treats on one corner
but what impressed us...
