Burning Logs
Each flame
elegantly weaves in waves
flowing up from resources red cinder hot,
similar in warm color
temperature decrees
of beauty as integrity's truth
trust each surrounding flame.
Each flame
unique in point of origin below
as ubiquitously flickering fading destinations above.
Yet...

Tonight, Let's Remember
by Michael R. Burch
July 7,2007 (7-7-7)
Tonight, let's remember the fond ways
our fingers engendered new methods to praise
the gray at my temples, your thinning hair.
Tonight, let's remember, and let us draw near...

And Still I Drive - Part One
Stars fall under failing skies...stars fall...stars fall...
And sadly...i start to drive.
Through the unremarkable village with its tall
Georgian Bay window panes, lightless,
devoid of visages; outwardly staring back at my
Abject countenance with detached contempt and...

Same Ol' Song and Dance
As I look back across more musical times
of rhythmic reflections,
ceremonies and commemorations
of each dawn and dusk eremitic liturgy,
if that is not an oxymoron
of sound and sight,
song and dance,
tragically sad, yet also bilaterally bound with happier...

Red and Blue Estrangered Families
Dear Siblings Three,
I was reading a story
in which some siblings became estranged
after their parents died,
while others moved toward greater solidarity.
This is a variation on a diaspora story.
But, here growing physical distance
is seen more as a...

Couples Counseling
My early 20s Eldest Black Lives Matter Son
wears his disabling ADHD label uncomfortably,
impatiently,
like a possibly self-redeeming crown
but with unfortunate MessiahComplex thorns
as the Great WhiteMan's sacrificial lamb.
His First, and hopefully last, Girl
is an ADHD Latina,
with sparkling...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 14
Despite his impatience to show me his hell,
He waited for me in my rest,
Lying upon the ground, I awoke in prayer,
Thanking God above and asking Him for guidance
“My heart is Yours, always,
From the moment...

In My Beautiful Balloon
With summer nearly gone, we all wanted to do something special,
And decided it should be daring, rather than the usual and dull.
So, we listed the things we desired to do, but hadn't yet tried,
And we...

Grey Bane and the Dark Lord
Perched on a stalagmite jutting up from the floor

Frozen in ice was my Love whom...

What Is a Life To You
What is a life to you?
Do you wake up to love
imagine a future with someone?
A wife or a husband,
a child or ten?
An exaggeration,
but love is different to everyone.
Do you have a cat or a dog,
that...

Transmigration of the Wind
The strong gust of wind was cut off from its source; a frigid early spring blast that swept across a lofty mountain range, high above British Columbia.
It then encircled one of the lesser peaks and...

Trump Against Conservatives
What are some differences
between post-millennial Trumpism
and pre-millennial Republicanism?
I know...I know!
Republicans used to be fiscal conservatives
but now support a one trillion dollar deficit
per unaffordable health and safety care year,
Expanded deficit spending
despite taking more from not...

Consciousness correction
Clutching the moment
Before yesterday became yesterday,
The promise,
Before he pledged his love to me,
The colors,
Before autumn waltzed away,
Swaying in shadows of soft snowfall,
Breathing white, plunging into the thought,
A blizzard erasing the gentle flames,
Sheltered by...

Designer Ways and Means
Permacultural Designers
are taught to multiply the number
and networking depth
of relationships
between species
and organisms
and systems
and cooperative economic networks,
rather than the simpler adding functions
of traditional agriculture;
Where,
if you plant eight crops,
you get eight maybe interdependent functional relationships,
and maybe not...

Always showing its intentions, bound by emotions

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 13

“Did I desire once to be higher than you, oh seething heart?
Could I, in my human flesh, sympathize for your imminent demise?
Cradling you in my sorrows, as...

Exploring Midterm Mindbodies
Our minds play
an eisegetical game
transubstantiating our debating minds
translating our felt bodies
embodied contexts
Natural/Spiritual environments
felt yet untouched messages
spoken through ancient metaphoric narratives
polypathic tales
multiculturing mysteries
sacred polytheistic histories
Felt
egocentrically thoughtful
inside
Touched
exterior-invested
sacred trans-pantheistic skin
outside transparent reverence
for all born vulnerably holy
within and...

Random Acts of Grace
I wonder if our reasons
for growing random acts of violence
are similar
to our dwindling random acts of reasoned healing,
kindness,
gratitude,
unrequited love,
uncommodified,
unconscripted,
unscripted,
uncontained
restoring cooperative ecopolitical relationships forward
not just because this is our right and healthy familial thing to do
but...

Skating Upon Saturn’s Rings
Startling as the rise of the moon

music in glorious praises, a maze
