Distances
by Michael R. Burch
Moonbeams on water?
the reflected light
of a halcyon star
now drowning in night...

Life On the Street
Dried up like a reservoir
In the mid summer heat
The cracks in the ground

The life lines, upon my face
I have weathered many a storm

the pain inside more than he can bear anymore,
just one more broken soldier,
never even seen combat yet,

They take our souls
Then question when...

The blackbird sings, can you hear it?
The telly fed me the propaganda. Of princesses and princes.
Damsels in distress. Knights in shining armour. That was

While a sleeping giant in a cave does rest.

Inside me is fact
Poking at imagination
Teasing fiction
At war with piles of literature
Angry poems colliding with hospital visits

Of windborne blossoms, dark allure,
Which made the...
