Erin
by Michael R. Burch
All that’s left of Ireland is her hair?
bright carrot?and her milkmaid-pallid skin,
her brilliant air of cavalier despair,
her train of children?some conceived in sin,
the others to avoid it. For nowhere
is evidence of...

Peace In the Nowhere
"Peace in the Nowhere"

they read their words
marked each day on walls

peace in the nowhere
someplace relevant to go
Ghosts commune in this place
disowned long ago or walked
off the...

Lozenge

When I was closest to love, it did not seem
real at all, but a thing of such tenuous sweetness

The moon exposes pockmarked scars of craters;
her visage, veiled by willows, palely looms.
And we who rise each day to grind a living,
dream each scented night of such perfumes

The Sleeper and the Supernaturalist
"The Sleeper and The Supernaturalist"
The Sleeper
shone as she walked
through the Woods
shining alive
like nothing
natural could

transfigures instead
from under shine
she bares...

The things none may ever describe

A Parallel Earth
It was the weekend, and I was sleeping late that day,
Alone with the morning, while savoring marvels of May.
As I drowsed luxuriantly, at the outskirts of dreams,
I heard a strange sound, while soaking in gay...

Foggy May
This foggy sky
darkly and relentlessly rains
especially for an early May morning.
He is not prepared for darkness
seeping through new-born leaves,
not yet full grown into this year's trunk-lacing dress,
soaking up from saturated soil,
slurping into his compassionately
empathic...
