Where art thou anonymous benefactor...to offer me succor?

which prospect to acquire essential

Sonnets LXI-LXX

Erin
by Michael R. Burch

is evidence of...

Too what ends?

Who(m) may guide us?

Debated and glorified by us all 

Beloved; instilled among (a) core...

Ford's Theater, April 15th, 1865...
Petersen House, Washington, D.C.

I admit to own a passion
for the Civil War in general,
and the life and death of
the sixteenth president in particular
between a hard spot of whiskey
and draughts of arrack;

Out in that sky, no one sleeps, not even the stars.

We are at the 24-hour late-nite diner

and they’re serving up fruit

from the plants growing out of the floor.

We watch bodies fall to the ground outside

Can I...how dare I ask this
Is it for the wrong intentions

A warm, glowing September night.
Nondescript small town bar with
people enjoying fine company and revelry.
College football game just finished.

Good will...
