Instruction
by Michael R. Burch
Toss this poem aside

and still it is all the same.
The onset
of night is in the despairing skies;
each hut shuts its bright bewildered eyes.

From Palimpsest to Glory: The Music of Florence Price

I trace the mountains' ancient, weathered crown.
Silvered river forgotten secrets float by

A beacon for lost souls on...

O, Terrible Angel

O, terrible angel,
bright lover and avenger,

Who are you,
seeking consolation and passion

Not Quite the Remnant of Those Myriad Poems That Yestereve I Composed

They line and ring every shore, every strand bristling with
The deadliest of weapons;
The tocsin should be sounded,
And every cannon is round at its bore.
Fires rage unchecked and unopposed throughout the
Entire world,...

People grew harsher,
their words sharpened into wounds,
their silence burned like fire.
When I finally broke,
and Help knocked on my door,

as if my pain were an inconvenience,
as if my cry...

Sleep Tight, Year of Waking
Late at night, caressed by nocturnal howls
I strode across streets of snow
A gentle tune whistled from my pockets
As the frosty breeze kissed my exposed nose
