The Plural Sky and the Temptation of Its Mirrored Eyes
I melt into the plural sky
its rippling tableaus of tomorrow
underneath open light waves
see-saws the labyrinth

Burn
by Michael R. Burch
for Trump

in the white-hot flash

from your pale parched lips
shall not avail;
you made this hell.
Now burn.
