Poems About Icarus
Southern Icarus
by Michael R. Burch

Windborne, lover of heights,
unspooled from the truck’s wildly lurching embrace,
you climb, skittish kite...

What do you know of the world’s despair,
gliding in vast solitariness there,
so that all that remains is to
fall?

Distances
by Michael R. Burch

Moonbeams on water?
the reflected light
of a halcyon star
now drowning in night...
So your memories are.

Footprints on beaches
now flooding with water;
the small, broken ribcage
of some primitive slaughter...
So near, yet so far.



A Surfeit of...

Such Tenderness

when she shelters downed fledglings beneath a warm wing
and coos to them softly, unable...

She took some care making her choice
A Valentine's Day card
It is a silly little thing
"It shouldn't be this hard"

To set the proper tone for them
"With just a touch...

all reaching to reflect first breath

Steam ascends from the city's vacuum
gratings rattle with...
