Erin
by Michael R. Burch

her brilliant air of cavalier despair,
her train of children?some conceived in sin,
the others to avoid it. For nowhere

Peace In the Nowhere

someplace relevant to go
Ghosts commune in this place
disowned long ago or walked

by Michael R. Burch
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
caught
in the moonlight

MonofilamaniaIt is so hard to let go of love,
lovingly.
It sharks,
unpeels more gut more quickly
than reel or reeler ever lost
in all those years of lazy inches

casting,
winding in and playing out,
hardly fishing, rarely catching
anything
