Vacuum
Vacuum
by Michael R. Burch

forever landlocked in snow,

Icarus, Resurrected
Finally to Burn: Icarus, Resurrected

Athena takes me
sometimes by the hand
and we go levitating
through strange Dreamlands
where Apollo sleeps
in his dark forgetting

and all I remember
upon awaking
is: to Love sometimes

Sonnetina-Hear the Plea of Mother Nature
My trees are being rampaged by man's cruelty;
doesn't he feel empathy when they crumble down,
to be shipped on barns and trains for huge profits?

Indigenous Creatures of My Writing Desk
There is an antique writing desk
in my little study
handed-me-down
from generations of would-be
writers in my family

The Manchester Ship Canal - Part Two
Stilled again across the canals broadening

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...

Incorrigible Recalcitrant - Doppelganger (mine)
Ala Goofus and Gallant

divergent alter egos
