No MarkNo Mark
by Michael R. Burch
A wave implodes,

you are leaving
and the ungrieving
winds demur...
telling me
that nothing returns
as it was before...
here where you have...

by Michael R. Burch
How sweet the endeavors of lips: to speak
of the heights of those pleasures which left us weak
in love’s strangely lit beds, where the cold springs creak:
for there is...

TozzathPellucid pachyderms wade across
the purpling River Manjees
and Tozzath watches from the bank,
the seat of his maroon pantaloons soaked with mud,
his nostrils flaring with the fragrance of ombadalias,
whose lacey petals flutter
like the wings of long-dead...

Light On the Devil's Chord - the ChallengeMy hair bristled in the crisp breeze
Excitement spreading throughout my body

Tingles spreading through my hands and up my arms
Soon I would be there too. . .

Light On the Devil's Chord -Day 1And the music began,

Snarling, smiling, demons held me upright,
As the Precarious Prince began,
“Dare you in silence come to me, Daughter of Eve,
To challenge my...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 30A whirl, a gust, and a thunderous boom commenced,
Heartened by the latter soreness of silent night,
Shackled through the chill blows above,
A tempest, a storm,
Threshing the world,
Shaking the Prison of Plot,
The waters of the Holy Spirit...

I Am Not My FearI feel I am drowning
In open air,
Clawing at dirt that isn’t there
No one sees my distress—
No one really cares
Clacking, scraping sounds
Of glasses and plates
Echoes of breathing and voices
Assault my senses,
And still I cannot breathe…
Even as...

Grief’s gravity

Ascending from its resting haven,
Hoping that it will...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 27Of Him and not me?
Muttered the dragon, full-formed, wretched,
Stench unfathomable, seething and snarling
His great lungs expanding and exhaling puffs of darkness
Slanted, shining, scorching eyes burning into my own
What light shines but His own?

Unobtrusively slid along
Past tussock grass and curled up

Glued tightly onto structured vanes
Of outstretched frond.
Venerable Mosses reciting epic tales,
Measured throughout Metronomical

Chanting methodically in harmonious

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots IiGazing down along the zealously
Monitored borders of well clipped
Evergreen Privet hedges.
Standing watchful guard over
Divisions
Re-enforced by concrete posts and
Darkly stained, wooden, wavy-lap
Fences;
Age-old neighbourly disputes, petty
Grudges and childish jealousies -
Ably demonstrated by various
Patchworks of shabbily...
