Salve
by Michael R. Burch
for the victims and survivors of 9-11
The world is unsalvageable ...
but as we lie here
in bed
stricken to the heart by love
despite war’s
flickering images,
sometimes we still touch,
laughing, amazed,
that our flesh
does not despair
of love

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

Halloween Poems Iii
No One
by Michael R. Burch
No One hears the bells tonight;
they tell him something isn’t right.
But No One is not one to rush;
he lies in grasses greenly lush
as far away a startled thrush
flees from horned owls...

Addict of a Different Sort
Someone that I know has a serious affliction,
Not chemically induced though, is their addiction.

In one way or another or in ways, a mix.

Husband and Wife: Literary Life
Your Rain was tears on my window pane -
the first poem of yours I had seen -
pain-drops spattered a snow-blank expanse,
grief-blue with regret and what should have been.
I thought mediocre. Bad omen for you.
You who...

The Trees Tell Me
Trees have never talked before
no one has ever heard tree thoughts.
As plants evolved, so did trees;
trillions and trillions appeared,
half gone now, down to three trillion.
Trees send signals through the forests;
using various chemicals
also fungi, roots and...

Shades of Love
A handful of stars
In the right pocket of my trouser
Eliminating all the tsars
Inside the child of wild world
Time in a swirl
And another handful of moon pieces
Bridges and beaches
In the left pocket
My room in a...

In stars above
Humming in hemlock heartbeats ~
along the shorelines
which once swallowed the sun
in their searing shadows ~
I see those smoking seawaves
swirling upon my skin,
as the silhouettes
of damask dahlia damsels
drizzle and dance
in the tornadoes of
tangerine...

Vaporizing Whispers
I'm torn in poetry ~
like a fractured syllable
scattered across
altars of glistening gold,
mirroring the maskless faces
of those, who once
sold their sanctity for sins.
Perhaps, there's a
cursed moonlight,
to which I'll...

The sun upon my face blinds me as my boat rocks gently
through the rolling swells that lap against the hull.
The sound of the droning engine mesmerizes my mind

White Wine And Feather Boa Dreams
I wrap myself
in feather-boa-fantasies of his dreams
sinuous pinot-grigio-me;
X-rated and never sated
dancing to rock ‘n roll— 80’s dated

welcome to the conjugal jungle
of not-so-rusted lust

Majesty of Spring’s Tapestry
Meandering meadows broken by a tossing garbling brook…boulders embossing...marbling and moss flossing
Awoken whispers spoken..cantankerous coughing eddy wheezes..then a curmudgeonly icy mirror hush
Reckoning breezes yield cats' paws beckoning…teases across the flanking field
Fairies’ wield spells conveyed in...

Casting All 'My' Gods Aside
Casting All 'My' Gods Aside!
Let us cast Gods aside if false praise buys salvation,
our actions make Grace less germane (bring us blessing),
and pride (I am ‘saved’) means I judge those who aren’t!
Let us praise God...

Woman Who Dares and Man Who Would
Silent lake secrets of a summer’s evening
Beyond meadow’s grasses, rustled in bits of expectation
Light sparkle of reflected diamonds dance on shimmery pond
Cool clear waters delighting the heart of Sister Raccoon and Brother Opossum
Devoted forest...

Kismet
Holding hands with Shannon Leigh
Enthrallment consuming me
Trees flex their dusk filigree
Bobbing as if they agree
Pitch blank possibility
Revel in this day's decay
Bemused I should feel this way
Summer blooms share their bouquet
Nature's splendid verve soiree
As we bask...

Muse
Ink leaks from her veins in riddles,
Words scribbled in mirrored existence,
Emulating and forming thoughts before breaking,
The floor is her canvas,
Her hands the brush,
She strokes his hair to the lyric of the piano,
The tune of...

The Manchester Ship Canal - Part Two
Stilled again across the canals broadening
Girth;
Mesh cages of rock-filled Gabions
Reinforcing patches of exposed and arid earth,
Reflecting the glints that gleefully
Twist and dance in the hot glare of the sun...
Provoking images and stirring indefinable...
