By God’s Law, I don’t subside
My tears are diamonds in...

with their geiger counters
and ouji boards
with their heart
shaped planchettes
unanswered questions
in the woods, crackling
within the sounds of leaves
invisible dead things speaking
underfoot...

How can I write and not be true
to the rhythm that wells within?

not buck with the clapboard slap of tide,
the clockwork shock of wave on rock,

VacuumVacuum
by Michael R. Burch
Over hushed quadrants
forever landlocked in snow,
time’s senseless winds blow...
leaving odd relics of lives half-revealed,
if still mostly concealed...
such are the things we are unable to know
that once intrigued us so.
Come then, let us...

The Sleeper and the Supernaturalist
"The Sleeper and The Supernaturalist"
The Sleeper

like nothing
natural could
caught
in the moonlight
unaware
the innocent
red-caped roses stared
the trees whispered,
"beware, beware"
barefoot softly
the Supernaturalist
transfigures instead
from under shine
she bares...

One DayOne day not so long ago
I walked
Never alone
For the world

Invisible red roses
Offering sweetest perfume
To my nose and soul
There’s such warmth
In snow-filled winter
No bitterness
