“Forever”
When The Terrors came,
The Uncontrollable Ones,
she closed her eyes
and listened for the notes

Spring
by Charles d’Orleans (c. 1394-1465)
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

struck from coal.
What is their brazen goal?
They grab...

Revolutionary Story
They called their gang The ReVolutionaries,
my Father Sun and Mother Earth drew time with them,
but they often called themselves Yang and Yin,
respectively and mutually respectful
yet privately erotic,
not so much politically and economically
where Yang could not...

Transparent Exodus
Imagine we live in an eco-normative story

cash piled in quantifiable currencies,
collectively blinded to our Win-Win

I take a four-fold spin

Deep CoMessianic Engagement
Ms. Real Time,
an often engaging Taoist,
but sometimes, admittedly, not so much,
more of a disengaged cannibal really
on her dark time of before and after
