Who Put Luebella Down the Wych Elm
"Who Put Luebella down the Wych Elm?"
There are rumours
about me, some

with their geiger counters
and ouji boards
with their heart
shaped planchettes
unanswered questions
in the woods, crackling
within the sounds of leaves

VacuumVacuum
by Michael R. Burch
Over hushed quadrants
forever landlocked in snow,
time’s senseless winds blow...

you climb, skittish kite...
What do you know of the world’s despair,

we fear the dark, but the light destroys them...

Still, late at night, when the bat-like vampire sings,
we heed his voice.
Centuries...
