The Book of Changes
"The Book of Changes"
Thoughts arrived before words,
1000s of years before
the crossing of curves
always seen to be
swimming upstream
against the current
thoughts … and feelings,
in the flow, always arrive
before words, they are cast
in the...

Sonnet Lxxxi-LxxxixSonnet LXXXI-LXXXIX
Day, and Night
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
as drew...

Dream 1: 4 Weeks In Positano
"Dream 1: 4 Weeks in Positano"
Kisses long linger warm lips tasted intense
so sweet like cured Valencia Oranges
lips liquored triple sec not dry drunk on love
softly grazed, then held long
slow, deep, warm and wet
The story is...

The Call of the Grimoire
"The Call of the Grimoire"
when Exalibur was retrieved
from the rock, then foolishly
and irretrievably lost
in that dreadful battle most worthless
the imps encouraged
the once good Poesie folk
to jeer and throw pebbles

This Transit RegenerationMy TransITion began there
right there
in my woodland playground,
when I first knew
something right feels wrong to others.
I was blind to curve-balls
hurled at me.
Being "It" is not why I grow

Or, is it?
Could I...

Before the Firing Squad
“Before The Firing Squad”
the firing squad
came dressed
in faux smiles
the intervention cake
was spoon fed, like honey,
by mother superior
to the lesser bee,
with self-righteous
magnanimity
she wore the badge
Devil’s Advocate, proudly,
without any clear authority
casting bloodied
nasturtiums around the...

The Malignant UlcerI see this ulcer

Body arresting in phenomena
Of diverse shapes and designs
Magnificently wrought together
In one whiff of putrid scent
It is of an exotic nature
Magnanimously growing out of context
Thus ticking with apocalyptic dimensions ...

Light of the Devil's Chord - Day 39KNOWING LESS THAN BEFORE…
That whisper of the night before struck me powerfully,
It affected me more than I intended to admit

But nothing to compare with the suicidal, lovely
Red glow of...
