Lady’s Favor
by Michael R. Burch

may-care
into the air,
ignoring the lethal
nettles
and may
May
cry gleeful-
ly Hooray!
as the abundance
settles,
till a sudden June
swoon
leave us out of tune,
torn,

rudely shorn
of every device but her thorn.

of hologramic CDs, in sad wrecks
of long-forgotten...

Healthy Politics As Unusual
Creolization,
soars Dr. Jane Anna Gordon,
turns our co-empathic evolving democracy project
into a verbal,
active,
regenerative more,
degenerative less,
occasionally Elite-Pirates v NonElite-Prey revolution,
and even more unconsciously occasionally
Elite/NonElite Creolizing-SelfReGenerative
crave to grave
multicultural Earth experience.
What could all this Elite and NonElite...

Spineless In the Running
Was this a bold endeavour or worst-case high risk plot?
In one sense I was caught between two poles apart concerns.

difficult decision.
A decision that may...

Close your eyes
Explicit shame sheds rage in my eyes
I’ll be alright in the morning light and the night’s so bright
Open up your eyes
Sharpen me like your pensive pencil……
Begin with me, thinking I’m not thin
Paper thin,...
