Of which my comedy does not take care,

For watching the next slit, then we stopped there
Malebolge to see and crying vain;

The Pictish FaeriesThe Pictish Faeries
by Michael R. Burch
Smaller and darker
than their closest kin,
the faeries learned only too well
never to dwell
close to the villages of larger men.
Only to dance in the starlight
when the moon was full
and men...

Half MeasuresThis is how it starts
the decline of who we are, the decline of something more
the start of wars
Installed in us is confidence
confidence, a blessing or a curse
Without confidence we stand degraded, disenchanted, alone

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 12His words stung me, as the cries from the maelstrom seem to retort
Their scattered, foreign words and wails retching their say
I listened, almost mesmerized,
Pulverized
“Come,” Said he,
With threatening authority
Upwards, higher than the balcony from which we...

StormThe day was fine and sunlit,
Decorated by several clouds
drifting aimlessly in the radiant ocean-blue sky.
Chorused by gentle puffs of the morning breeze,
Sending leaves on the streets twirling like
ballerinas in a dazzling and mesmerising dance.

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 28Quietly, the memory of my grandfather manifested itself,
In the colors and shimmers of the Holy Spirit,
I saw his human face,
The familiar lines, the flesh,
The pair of oceanic eyes, slowly blinking
Smiling,
Like a heavenly beam
Splashing...

Strange Ways, Here We Come

through my doors
“I had no choice”

nor usurping interloper

I Am Not My FearI feel I am drowning
In open air,
Clawing at dirt that isn’t there
No one sees my distress—
No one really cares
Clacking, scraping sounds
Of glasses and plates
Echoes of breathing and voices
Assault my senses,
And still I cannot breathe…
Even as...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 27Of Him and not me?
Muttered the dragon, full-formed, wretched,
Stench unfathomable, seething and snarling
His great lungs expanding and exhaling puffs of darkness
Slanted, shining, scorching eyes burning into my own
What light shines but His own?

Storm WarningI love spending nights on the lake.
Once the oven-like sun disappears,
things get suddenly quiet, except for
the occasional hoot of an owl, crickets, frogs
and the soft lapping of the lake on the boat.
When the moon rises...

Black as Monday
Tears fall, soundless memories, silent as dew,
Struggling from the morning’s gentle eyes, clawing
Through the promises, feelings blooming,

In the sun’s clever glare…
As she erases the silence, the dew,...
