“SUMMER”



Where

Summer

missing 

all those other 
beautiful  
small dreams 

seen as toys
small and 
inconsequential 

casually tossed aside, 
disposable play,
things

You Never Listened

You Never Listened
by Michael R. Burch
 
You never listened,
though each night the rain
wove its patterns again
and trembled and glistened...

in her eyes palely fetching...

The Depths



"The Depths"

From the depths
silence.

Where 
are the voices
of other 
women?

next to them, 
the sweet dreams of lives...
